Will Insurance Cover The Cost of Lasik Eye Surgery?
It’s one of the first questions that a person asks New York City Lasik surgeons – “Will my insurance cover the cost of a Lasik surgical procedure?” Unfortunately, the answer is “no” in most cases because most insurance companies categorize it as either a cosmetic or elective surgery. However, there are a number of finance companies that provide coverage in the form of employee insurance. While each plan is unique, the following companies offer full or partial coverage:
Lazard Freres
Soros Fund Management
Mizuho Securities
If you’re employed by one of the above companies, you should contact your healthcare benefits administrator regarding the details on Lasik eye surgery coverage. But don’t let this discourage you, if you don’t work for these particular companies. There are several insurance plans that discount the price of New York City Lasik surgery including:
