At Riverview Eye Associates, our goal is to promote good eye health and enable you to have the clearest vision possible. We accept several types of vision insurance, cash, checks, most credit cards and CARE CREDIT. We inform our Columbus patients about exam and treatment costs at the beginning of your appointment. If you require a breakdown of costs, please let us know.
Vision Insurance
The knowledgeable staff at Riverview Eye Associates is experienced in working with vision insurance providers. We will work directly with you and your vision insurer to submit claims regarding your vision care. We strive to ensure that you understand your insurance coverage and will answer any questions you may have regarding your benefits. Many current vision plans are designed to cover most of the basic vision-related costs, but not all costs associated with eye care. Most plans often require a co-payment for an office appointment as well as additional costs that are covered by the insured patient.
Participating Provider for the Following Insurance Companies:
- Vision Service Plan
- Vision Care Plan
- Eyemed (ACCESS PLANS ONLY)

If we are NOT a Provider for Your Plan:
We offer a 10% time of service discount if you would like to submit the claim to your insurance company yourself for reimbursement. The discounted fee will be collected at the time of your next visit and we will give you an itemized receipt to submit to your plan. If you would like us to submit the claim for you, payment in full will be collected at the time of your visit with no discount and we will be glad to submit the bill for you.
Contact our office at 614-451-7244 to find out if your insurance provider is accepted in our office or for more information about your vision coverage.
Flexible Spending Accounts
Many employers are offering Flexible Spending Account (FSA) options to employees. Sometimes these are referred to as cafeteria plans and are elective, supplemental insurance savings plans. These plans are designed to let you save money in an account, pre-tax, to pay for additional medical expenses such as eye exams, glasses, contacts, and often laser vision surgery. Check with the benefits administrator at your work to see if you are eligible for this program. FSAs can typically be used in conjunction with any vision insurance plan to offset any out-of-pocket costs on your behalf.
Other Payment Options
Our Columbus optometry staff understands that cost is a concern when evaluating vision care providers. We do not want cost to be an obstacle to maintaining proper eye health and good vision. We accept various forms of payment and are able to discuss financing options through CARE CREDIT with you prior to any examination. At Riverview Eye Associates, we also accept cash, check, and major credit cards. Call 614-451-7244 today to schedule your eye exam today.
