At Glen Ellyn Vision Center, our goal is to promote good eye health and enable you to have the clearest vision possible. We accept several types of vision insurance, medical insurance, cash, checks, and most credit cards. We inform our Glen Ellyn patients about exam and treatment costs at the beginning of your appointment. If you require a breakdown of costs, please let us know.

Vision Insurance

The knowledgeable staff at Glen Ellyn Vision Center is experienced in working with vision insurance providers. We will work directly with you and your vision insurer to submit claims regarding your vision care. We strive to ensure that you understand your insurance coverage and will answer any questions you may have regarding your benefits. Many current vision plans are designed to cover most of the basic vision-related costs, but not all costs associated with the health of your eyes. Most plans often require a co-payment for an office appointment as well as additional costs that are covered by the insured patient.

Contact our office at 630-469-4141 to find out if your insurance provider is accepted in our office or for more information about your vision coverage.

Medical Insurance

The doctors at the Glen Ellyn Vision Center are providers with most major medical plans. Many eye health related testing is not covered by vision plans, but when a medical diagnosis exists can be submitted to a patient's medical insurance. We are also able to submit for medical coverage for most emergency or red eye related visits.

Contact our office at 630-469-4141 to find out if we are providers with your medical plan.

Flexible Spending Accounts

Many employers are offering Flexible Spending Account (FSA) options to employees. Sometimes these are referred to as cafeteria plans and are elective, supplemental insurance savings plans. These plans are designed to let you save money in an account, pre-tax, to pay for additional medical expenses such as eye exams, glasses, contacts, and often laser vision surgery. Check with the benefits administrator at your work to see if you are eligible for this program. FSAs can typically be used in conjunction with any vision insurance plan to offset any out-of-pocket costs on your behalf.

Other Payment Options

Our Glen Ellyn optometry staff understands that cost is a concern when evaluating vision care providers. We do not want cost to be an obstacle to maintaining proper eye health and good vision. We accept various forms of payment and are able to discuss financing options with you prior to any examination. At Glen Ellyn Vision Center, we also accept cash, check, and major credit cards. Call 630-469-4141 today to schedule your eye exam today.
