Insurance Plans

We perform a wide range of examinations and services at MarinEyes. We are providers for over 250 insurances, both vision plans and health insurances.

Health Insurance

Prior to your departure, you will see our health insurance staff to check out. We participate in the Marin IPA plans, most local, regional and national health insurance plans. We are Participating Providers for Medicare. These plans generally cover medical or surgical eye problems but NOT "routine" eye exams , glasses and contact lenses. We participate in many "vision service plans" as well. These plans typically provide benefits for things such as routine exams, eyeglasses and contact lenses (see below).

Our fees are similar to those established throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Payment is expected at the time of service; we will assist you in processing your insurance claims. If your insurance requires a referral from your primary care physician, it is essential  that you obtain this prior to your appointment and bring it with you on the day  of your examination. 

Vision Plan Insurance

We participate with VSP, Medical Eye Services, and many other vision plans. These plans are generally separate from your health insurance. They generally DO cover routine eye exams, glasses and contact lenses but NOT eye diseases. Please check with our Billing Department staff to clarify the nature of your vision plan coverage.

Here is a partial list of contracted insurances as of September, 2004. Please verify our participation with your plan when you make your appointment.
