Proper Use and Billing of Vision Plan Insurance: VSP and others Vision plan insurance can be used for a routine eye exam to check eyeglasses and contact lens prescriptions.
Some basic screening type tests are performed for eye health also.
A routine eye exam using vision insurance does not cover any medical eye issues.
So, if you have red eyes, dry eyes, allergy eyes, new onset of floaters, infections, glaucoma, crossed eyes, double vision, management of any eye diseases, you MUST use your regular medical insurance to cover these visits.
