Great news! Because Key-Whitman contracts with most health insurance plans (including Medicare, Medicare Advantage Plans, the Exchange Plans and Medicaid,) your out of pocket costs can be minimized. Aside from your deductible and any co-insurance, your out of pocket costs only include the refractive services fees (eg. if you choose a lens implant designed to correct astigmatism or presbyopia.) Call today and ask for specific information regarding your plan(s).

If you’ve been told that you have a cataract, now is the best time to have surgery at Key-Whitman Eye Center because the technology and options have never been better.

Insurance Plans Accepted

Our staff is here to help make the insurance process easier for you. Our clinic and surgery center accept assignment with Medicare and both participate with most commercial insurance plans and Medicare advantage plans in the area. When you call us to schedule your initial exam, give our staff member your insurance information. Someone from our business office can then call to check your benefits and coverage, including whether or not your eye exam will be covered. When you arrive at Key-Whitman Eye Center, make sure to bring your insurance cards with you so we may be able to file for your visit on your behalf. If you are an HMO participant, please be advised that a referral will be required.
