Important information about Medicare, Commercial Health Insurance and FSA Funds!

In case you didn't know - Important information about Medicare, Commercial Health Insurance and FSA Funds!

There are just a few short months remaining until you are faced with new Medicare & Medicare Advantage PPO deductibles. On January 1st you will need to satisfy a new deductible out of your own pocket before Medicare benefits will be available. 

You probably know that if you've already met your deductible for this year, then your exam is covered by Medicare. Your only responsibility is the portion that Medicare doesn't cover (the refraction fee & co-pay).

Likewise, if you have individual & family commercial health insurance, many times we are able to bill your insurance for a portion of your exam (your out of pocket cost is the refraction fee, co-pay and deductible). FYI the open enrollment period for 2027 coverage starts on November 1st, 2026 for individual & family commercial insurance. 

Here's a list of commercial health insurance plans that can be used at Eyecare Center of DuPage: 

• Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO

• Aetna PPO

• United Healthcare PPO

• Cigna PPO

• Curative PPO

*We also offer prompt pay discounts, so even if Dr. Nicole and Dr. Andrew are out of network with your insurance plan you can still see them and save!  
 
Your eyes are SO important. No one wants to lose their sight. Right now -- before the weather gets bad, before the holiday rush, and before your new deductible -- is a great time to take care of your yearly eye exam. We will check for all the things that can go wrong like cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration.

If you have a FSA (Flexible Spending Account) your benefits run out by the end of the year. Nearly everything we do at Eyecare Center of DuPage can be paid for with FSA dollars including:

• Yearly eye exams (Office Visits & Co-pays)

• Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)

• Glasses (Computer glasses, prescription sunglasses, and more!)

• Contact Lenses

• Dry eye treatments 

• Vision health supplements
