Does insurance cover LASIK surgery?

If you have made up your mind to have Lasik eye surgery, you may be reading over your vision insurance to see if they will cover the costs. The bad news is that in most cases, vision insurance does not cover refractive surgery. The main reason is that Lasik surgery is considered a cosmetic procedure.

However, you can look into such programs as:

• Employers programs
• Tax deductions
• Loans
• a healthcare financing company
• a LASIK surgeon
• Use a flexible spending account

Do not choose a surgeon just because his fees his cheaper. You can find financing instead of possibly receiving inadequate care.
