Insurance Coverage Made Easy
Insurance Plans Accepted At Dominion Eye Care Chesapeake
Dominion Eye Care in Chesapeake, Virginia, works with a wide range of medical insurance plans and vision benefits to help patients access advanced medical eye care, specialty services, and routine exams with fewer surprises.
How Insurance Coverage Works For Eye Care
Every insurance plan has its own rules, but there are some common patterns that may help you understand what to expect. Many plans use:
- Copays for office visits
- Deductibles that must be met before certain services are covered
- Coinsurance, where the patient pays a percentage of the visit
In addition, some services require prior authorization, and some plans limit how often certain tests or exams can be performed.
Our billing team will explain what we can see from your insurance information, including copays that are due on the day of your visit and any known limitations. Some situations are only fully determined after a claim is processed, but we make every effort to provide a clear picture in advance.
Private Pay & Payment Options
Dominion Eye Care Chesapeake also welcomes patients who choose to pay privately for their care. Some patients prefer this option when they do not have insurance, have limited benefits, or wish to see a specific doctor who focuses on advanced medical or specialty services.
Our office can provide an estimate for common exam types and discuss fees for additional testing or specialty contact lens services. Payment is due at the time of service, and we accept several forms of payment.
If you have questions about costs or would like to compare private pay with using your benefits, our staff will walk you through those options.
Medical Insurance Plans We Accept
Medical insurance plans typically cover visits for diagnosis, treatment, or monitoring of an eye health concern. This includes medical eye exams for conditions such as glaucoma, keratoconus, diabetic eye disease, macular changes, dry eye, infections, injuries, sudden vision changes, and complications related to autoimmune disease or systemic medications.
Medical billing also applies to testing such as retinal imaging, visual field evaluations, and corneal mapping when doctors perform them to assess or manage a medical condition, rather than for routine vision needs.
Vision Insurance Plans We Accept
Vision insurance plans apply to routine eye care, including comprehensive vision exams that update your glasses or contact lens prescription. These plans may also provide allowances for eyeglasses frames, lenses, and standard contact lens fittings.
