We at Bohn & Joseph Eye Center are committed to working with you and your insurance company to provide you with quality care that is affordable for you and your family. We do accept many insurance companies, but please call your carrier to verify as the exact dates that contracts begin or are terminated will not always coincide with updates to this list. We do not participate in any Vision Plans.

Medical care vs. Vision Care

It is very important that you understand what kind of services your health insurance covers!!!  As some insurance companies do not cover routine eye exams, you should always check your insurance policy manual or call your insurance company.  Our office handles hundreds of patients a month and as much as we would love to know what each individual patient�s arrangements are with their own health insurance, it is not possible with our current staff. To add additional staff would mean we would have to increase our fees to cover their pay.

Your plan benefits can be found in your policy benefits book or by calling the number on your insurance card to inquire about your benefits. For your sake, please know your coverage!
