The cost of routine eye exams and prescription eyewear can be of real concern, especially for large families. In many cases, vision insurance can lower these annual expenses.
A vision insurance policy is not the same as health insurance. Regular health insurance plans protect you against financial losses due to unexpected eye injuries or disease. Vision insurance, on the other hand, is a wellness benefit designed to provide routine eye care, prescription eyewear and other vision-related services at a reduced cost.
Because we provide both medical and routine eye care, we accept a number of insurance plans to help cover the cost depending on your individual needs.
To help save our patients time and money, we direct bill with the following insurance companies:
- Blue Cross Blue Shield
- Canada Life
- Chamber Of Commerce
- Cinup
- Claimsecure
- Coughlin
- Cowan Insurance Group
- Desjardins
- Equitable Life Of Canada
- First Canadian
- GMS

Please note that certain plans for the above insurance providers do not allow direct billing, and in some cases, submission by the patient is required. Patients are responsible for any amount not covered by their insurance. We ask that you contact your insurance provider to confirm your eye care coverage and eligibility.
