At Wichita Eyecare, our goal is to promote good eye health and enable you to have the clearest vision possible. We accept several types of vision insurance, medical insurance, cash, checks, and most credit cards. We inform our Wichita Falls patients about exam and treatment costs at the beginning of your appointment. If you require a breakdown of costs, please let us know.
Vision Insurance
The knowledgeable staff at Wichita Eyecare is experienced in working with vision insurance providers. We will work directly with you and your vision insurer to submit claims regarding your vision care. We strive to ensure that you understand your insurance 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 insured patient.
Medical Insurance
If you do not have vision insurance but have a medical diagnosis such as cataracts, diabetes, glaucoma, dry eye, eye irritation, eye allergies or many other medical findings your medical insurance may cover part or all of your eye examination. If you have medical insurance that is covered at your family doctor then there is a good chance that we can file your medical insurance just like they do as long as you have an eye medical diagnosis.
Please bring a copy of all your insurance cards, vision and medical.
Contact our office at 940-696-2653 to find out if your insurance provider is accepted in our office or for more information about your vision coverage. If we are an out of network provider for you we would still be happy to examine your eyes and provide you with the necessary paperwork for you to file your own insurance.

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 Wichita Falls optometry staff understands that cost is a concern when evaluating vision care providers. We do not want cost to be an obstacle to maintaining proper eye health and good vision. We accept various forms of payment and are able to discuss financing options with you prior to any examination. At Wichita Eyecare, we also accept cash, check, and major credit cards.
