Health insurance

---

A key difference between medical insurance and vision plans is that medical insurance gives you ongoing benefits when a deductible has been met, and vision plans have a set amount you can spend once per year.

If you come in for an infection or other eye health problem, we will bill your medical insurance.  When you come in for needs like new eye glasses or contact lenses, that visit is billed to your vision discount plan.  

Medical plans will often cover your exam if you have any medical conditions like cataracts or diabetes.

• Medicare/ Prominence Medicare/ Railroad Medicare/ Aetna Medicare/ Anthem Medicare/ Optum Medicare/ United Healthcare Medicare

UMR has gone to a mixture of plans that are deductible based, and difficult to authorize prior to your exam.  We are happy to extend our discounted cash prices to UMR members, but this year we won't be billing state insurance.

Give the gift of sight to your loved ones in the form of a gift certificate for an eyeglasses exam or a contact lens exam.  Contact lens exams always include an eyeglass prescription as well.
