Insurance & Vision Plan Coverage
Some vision plans (VSP, EyeMed) provide partial coverage toward ortho-k lenses. Medical insurance does not typically cover ortho-k because it is considered elective — unlike scleral lenses for keratoconus, which are medically necessary.
We verify your vision plan benefits before starting treatment so you know exactly what your out-of-pocket cost will be.
Financing Options
We accept CareCredit and Alphaeon Credit with 6- and 12-month no-interest plans for qualifying patients.
FSA and HSA funds are eligible for ortho-k, which typically saves 25–35% on your out-of-pocket cost by using pre-tax dollars.
