Insurance & Payments

Vision Benefits and Plans

The knowledgeable staff at our office is experienced in working with vision plans. We will work directly with you and your vision plan to submit claims regarding your vision care. We strive to ensure that you understand your plan coverage and will answer any questions you may have regarding your benefits. Many current vision plans are designed to cover most of the basic vision-related costs, but not all costs associated with eye care. Most plans often require a co-payment for an office appointment as well as additional costs that are covered by the patient.

We are providers for UCD post doc and UCD employee vision plan, VSP, EyeMed, Tricare, and others. Please inquire about other insurance plans accepted here.

Medical Insurance

Contact us at (530) 756-9393 to find out if your insurance provider is accepted in our office or for more information about your vision coverage.

Flexible Spending Accounts

Many employers are offering Flexible Spending Account (FSA) options to employees. Sometimes these are referred to as cafeteria plans and are elective, supplemental insurance savings plans. These plans are designed to let you save money in an account, pre-tax, to pay for additional medical expenses such as eye exams, glasses, contacts, and often laser vision surgery. Check with the benefits administrator at your work to see if you are eligible for this program. FSAs can typically be used in conjunction with any vision insurance plan to offset any out-of-pocket costs on your behalf.

Other Payment Options

Our staff understands that cost is a concern when receiving quality eye care. We do not want cost to be an obstacle to maintaining proper eye health and excellent vision. We accept various forms of payment. If you have special circumstances, you may discuss finance options with us. Call (530) 756-9393 to schedule your eye exam today.
