Does Insurance Cover LASIK?
LASIK eye surgery is one of the safest elective medical procedures available. It can treat common eye conditions such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism (blurry vision at all distances). By offering freedom from glasses and contact lenses, LASIK is a life changing investment.
Given that many people struggle with the above eye conditions, and insurance often covers glasses and contacts, it’s normal to wonder if insurance also covers LASIK. We address this common question below.
Do Insurance Providers Cover LASIK Eye Surgery?
LASIK is widely considered an elective procedure by insurance companies. Since other alternatives exist (like glasses and contacts), not all insurance providers cover the cost of vision correction.
However, every insurance provider is different, and many benefit packages offer full or partial coverage for LASIK. You should inquire with your insurance provider to see if LASIK is covered under your plan. Our clinical staff can also help you determine if your insurance provider will cover the cost when you come in for a free, pre-operative consultation.
Additionally, if you’ve been contributing your pre-tax dollars to an employer-run Health Spending Account (HSA), you may be able to use it to offset the cost of a LASIK procedure. Your health benefits provider will be able to provide you with more information.
