Accepted Insurances
Our office accepts most insurance plans, including Medicare, for ophthalmic procedures. While we file claims for all insurance plans in which we participate, please note that this does not guarantee reimbursement or in-network status. Some insurance plans may require a referral for certain services, so we encourage you to verify your plan’s specific requirements with your insurance provider. Additionally, your plan may include optical benefits – please reach out to your insurer to confirm the details and coverage for your specific plan.
We are here to assist you in navigating your insurance, but ultimately, it is your responsibility to confirm your coverage and potential costs before your visit.
Insurances accepted at Associated Eye Care:
*Contracted provider for eyewear benefit
**UCare Medicare Advantage: Under this new Medicare Advantage program, AEC optical accepts the Debit Card but doesn’t bill any insurance.
