Payment Options / Financing

The cost of advanced vision correction and elective surgery varies according to the procedure you have. Our procedures are competitively priced, and the fees for the majority of pre- and post-operative visits are included in our costs.

Insurance Reimbursement for Restor®, ReZoom™, and crystalens® Treatment

Patients undergoing cataract surgery with one of these new advanced accommodative intraocular lenses (IOLs) receive some reimbursement from their insurance carrier for this surgery. In the past, Medicare reimbursement policy did not allow patients to opt for these advanced treatments as they do now. For more information on these new exciting lens offered by Wolstan Eye Associates, please click here.

Making Advanced Vision Correction Very Affordable

LASIK, PRK, and the advanced accommodative IOLs are not inexpensive, but make a lot of financial sense. If you consider the cost of 10 years of purchasing contact lenses or glasses (including lens fitting and lens replacements), advanced vision correction has actually been calculated to be less expensive. Plus, advanced vision correction would likely eliminate or dramatically reduce your need for glasses for the rest of your life.

Payment Options

To help make advanced vision correction and elective procedures more affordable, we offer financing plans through our partner CareCredit® and Reliance™. They have convenient payment plans at competitive rates. In addition, we would like to recommend several other ways of reducing your costs while ensuring quality vision care here at Wolstan Eye Associates. To find out more information, please feel free to contact our office at 310-543-2611.

Flexible Spending Plans

One of the best ways to cover the expense is to use a flexible spending health plan. Many employer health plans include flexible spending accounts that allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars that are eligible for a healthcare-related expense. Depending upon your income and tax bracket, this could save you as much as $2,000.

Contributions to these plans are made through automatic and regular deductions from your paychecks. Since the funds placed in the account are not taxed, they go much further in covering eligible medical expenses. Advance accommodative IOLs, laser vision correction, and eyelid surgery can all be eligible expenses. For more information on this type of plan, consult with your health insurance benefits administrator.

Tax Deductible Medical Expenses

The IRS has ruled that laser vision correction and the advance accommodative IOLs are tax-deductible medical expenses. You may be eligible for income tax deductions associated with your advanced vision correction procedure. Please check with your accountant or the IRS for more information.
