At Elite Eyecare, we strive to provide our patients with an outstanding clinical experience in the most cost-effective manner.
We are an in-network provider for many of the most popular insurance plans. Remember, the cost of an eye exam is often covered through basic medical insurance (less co-pays and deductibles) if the exam is being conducted for an appropriate medical reason. This includes but is not limited to examinations for diabetes, flashes and floaters, eye emergencies, conjunctivitis (ie:”pink eye”), as well as for patients taking systemic drugs that may have ocular side effects like plaquenil or systemic steroids.
Medical insurance may also cover follow up examinations for eye diseases like cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration. We are an in-network provider for the following medical insurance companies:
