Cost & Financing

Our goal at Whitsett Vision Group is to make cataract surgery accessible to all of our patients. For that reason, we offer convenient financing options to our patients through CareCredit.

At Whitsett Vision Group, we want to help you make the best, most educated decision about your cataract surgery, refractive lens exchange, or LASIK, as well as our fees and our convenient payment options.

Cataract procedures at Whitsett Vision Group are considered covered benefits by Medicare and most health insurance companies. Your specific coverage and out of pocket cost for surgery will depend on your deductible, coinsurance, and the type of lens implant technology you choose.

Cataract Surgery & Insurance

Most insurance companies consider cataract surgery with a standard monofocal lens a covered benefit. Monofocal lenses provide most patients with excellent distance vision with the use of glasses after surgery, so long as there are no other concerns with your ocular health. Your insurance company also considers the surgical center fee and anesthesia fee a covered benefit. Your out of pocket cost will depend on your specific deductible, co-insurance, and co-pays requirements.

At Whitsett Vision Group, we do offer a variety of advanced lens implant options, however, these lenses are not considered a covered benefit by Medicare and your insurance company. You can still choose one of these advanced lens implants for a nominal fee.

Once you and your surgeon determine which lens implant option is best for you, one of our experienced surgical counselors will provide you with pricing information, and help walk you through your insurance benefits for your cataract procedure.
