Insurance & Fees

At Eye Wellness Center, we are dedicated to improving your vision, so you have the clearest sight possible. We accept medical insurance, cash and most credit cards. We educate our Bellaire patients about treatment costs before you undergo any procedures. Please let us know if you require a breakdown of your treatment costs.

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 and contacts. 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 medical insurance plan to offset any out-of-pocket costs on your behalf.

Other Payment Options

Our Eye Wellness Center 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. CareCredit is available and accepted.

Card-on-File

We encourage patients to keep a credit card on file to make the checkout process easier, faster, and more efficient. You will no longer receive statements from us, but you will continue to receive your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from your insurance carrier once your claim has been processed, detailing the charges and payments made on your behalf.

At check-in we will:

• scan the credit card of your choice, including your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) card

After your insurance has paid their portion, we will:

• notify you via email of the balance owed
• charge the balance owed to your card on file
• email a receipt for the charge

Your credit card information will always be fully protected by our off-site, card-processing partner Elavon, and not on our computers, as required by industry standards (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard – PCI-DSS).
