Insurance

Unfortunately, due to recent insurance regulation changes we are unable to accept patients with Medicaid/Medical Card (this includes dual-enrollment with other participating medical insurance plans)

ic! berlinAt Ramsey 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, cash, checks, and most credit cards. At Ramsey EyeCare we provide full comprehensive medical examinations of the eye, copays are due at the time of service, but depending on diagnoses found and your specific insurance plan/deductible, patient responsibility may vary. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Vision Insurance

The knowledgeable staff at Ramsey 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.

Contact our office at 304-343-3363 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 Charleston 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 Ramsey EyeCare, we also accept cash, check, and major credit cards. Call 304-343-3363 today to schedule your eye exam today.

As the solar eclipse on April 8th approaches, we remind all patients of the importance of proper eye protection if they intend to view it, as without protection they can suffer vision loss or damage from staring at the sun.
