Health Insurance for individuals and Families

Vision

ObamaCare plans now offer pediatric dental and vision as part of the essential health benefits guaranteed by the new Affordable Care Act Bronze plan, Silver plan, Gold plan, and Platinum plans. If you are over 19 you may want to consider a stand-alone vision plan.

Quality vision care offers regular visits to the opthalmologist, optometrist, and optician.. Plus lenses or contacts are usually included (waiting periods may apply), a frame allowance, some plans offer $0 preventive diabetes referral treatment, and discounts on LASIK.

For the good news: everyone who applies for vision insurance coverage plan gets approved and there is usually a large network. For the bad news: most vision plans have maximum allowances for certain services.

Before even considering vision (or dental) make sure you have health insurance, as well as since 2014 there in an Obamacare individual mandate that requires nearly all Americans to have health coverage or pay a penalty.. .
