Patient Financing for Vision Care: Complement Your Insurance with CareCredit

Vision insurance is a great start for patients— it typically helps with routine eye exams and standard frames or contacts — but costs can add up when they choose upgraded lenses, designer frames, specialty contacts or elective treatments.

In this video, we’ll break down what vision insurance usually covers, where gaps can happen and how the CareCredit credit card can complement your patients’ coverage by helping them pay for eligible out-of-pocket costs like deductibles, copays and items not fully covered.

When it comes to vision care and eyewear, you don’t have to settle for the basics. Vision insurance and financing can work together to help you get what you want or need.

Let’s break it down...

Vision insurance typically covers the cost of routine eye exams, basic eyeglasses and contact lenses and some treatments. It may have a deductible and co-pay that you pay out of pocket. Your policy may also include an allowance for frames and contact lenses, but sometimes the styles you love are above your allowance or only partially covered, which means you’re paying the rest out of pocket.

Here’s where the CareCredit health and wellness credit card comes in. When you visit a provider enrolled in the CareCredit network, it’s a clear choice to complement your insurance and help you finance the remaining costs.* The best part: you can pay for things like deductibles and co-pays, as well as frames, lenses and elective treatments.

That’s why vision insurance and CareCredit can be the perfect pair to help you maximize your benefits and get what you really want without compromising.
