 Medicare
Burrows Vision Clinic participates in Medicare. This means we accept
payment in full for all fees that Medicare allows once your deductible
has been met. For instance, the eye exam is seen as two parts by
Medicare – the first and larger portion is for the eye health exam. The second is for the refraction (this is the determination of the
lens power you need in your glasses or contacts). The refraction is a
non-covered service. Medicare will pay
for a portion of the first pair of glasses following cataract surgery. Deluxe frames, lens tints and coating are
not covered by Medicare and are the patient’s responsibility. This is
for your information only. Burrows Vision Clinic will calculate your
Medicare Benefits and the balance that is your responsibility. We will
file the claim at no charge to you.
(VSP) Vision Service Plan
This is a common vision plan in our area. It is your responsibility to
inform us if you have VSP. The benefits vary depending on the specific
plan your employer has chosen. Generally VSP will cover your eye
health and vision exam except for a small co-pay. The eyewear portions
of your benefit will pay for the majority of the cost of your glasses
or contacts. As a VSP paid clinic, we will calculate any out of pocket
expenses for you. These are due at the time of service. VSP
does not restrict you in you choice of frames and lens options. VSP allows you
to choose eyewear or contact lenses you desire while enjoying
substantial savings from the normal cost.
Medicaid, Kid's Connection and Head Start
Burrows Vision Clinic accepts Nebraska Medicaid, Kids Connection
and Head Start patients. Some Medicaid patients have a small copay that is due at the time of service. We carry a nice
selection of frames for all ages of Medicaid patients. Other
Insurance
Other insurance plans accepted are: Spectera, GPA, Pacificare
Vision, Vision Care Direct, and Tricare and Migrant Health. Safety
eyewear plans are accepted from: Valmont, Burlington, NPPD, Trenton
Agriproducts and State of Nebraska. Patients without vision
insurance are entitled to an 18% discount on the cost of a new frame
when purchased with lenses and paid in full at the time of order.
Patients are responsible to bring proper paper work with them
to their appointment.
