Insurance Coverage for Eye Care
Silverstein Eye Centers participates in most major medical and vision insurance plans. Coverage varies depending on your specific provider, plan type, and deductible. Many insurance plans cover the diagnosis and treatment of medical eye conditions, while elective vision correction procedures may not always be included.
Our office will process insurance claims on your behalf, making the process easier and more convenient for our patients. If you have questions about your coverage, our billing team can help you understand what services may be covered and what your estimated out-of-pocket costs may be.
If you are unsure whether your insurance plan is accepted, we encourage you to contact your provider or reach out to our office for assistance.
