vision insurance options

consider mini-monovision (distance vision in dominant eye, intermediate vision in non-dominant eye) using Alcon's toric IOLs. With a little luck, you'd only need glasses for seeing small print. And forget about ReZoom altogether--a terrible option. With the Crystalens you'd need an additional astigmatism-correcting procedure, and your final results probably wouldn't be as good as mini-monovision with toric IOLs.

m wondering how bad will my vision get and are there any options for me to get the surgery done without insurance...like payment plans or something?

Also, see if there is a birth center near you. I know our local BC has options for families with no insurance. The total out of pocket to deliver there and be seen throughout the pregnancy is about $4500 compared to 3x that amount about the hospital.

The indications for surgery include your visual needs, and if it is progressing or stationary. They are followed by vision and a macular OCT. This is a very successful surgery. However, cataracts tend to progress or develop after cataract surgery. Dr. O.

Don't take your doctor's word that your insurance won't cover the multifocal lens. My insurance paid for it after I explained all the facts to them. The doctors office had only submitted it after I hounded them about it. When they did it went as a non-medically necessary facility charge. When I explained to insurance it was not that. When a cataract is removed a lens is necessary. This marked the cost from $2,000 down to $120. that insurance covered.

d like to minimize your dependence on glasses, consider having your lenses set for blended vision (distance vision in dominant eye, intermediate vision in nondominant eye). With this correction, you might only need glasses for prolonged reading or seeing small print.

You can check with your insurance to see if they cover fertility treatments. I am lucky that my insurance considers infertility as a medical condition so they cover it. Good luck to you!

You sound like a great candidate for mini-monovision with a near bias (intermediate vision in one eye; near vision in the other). Dr. Hagan has posted the recommended targets elsewhere--use the search feature to find them. You would only need glasses for distance vision activities. However, if you only do one eye now (and the other sometime in the future), you would be forced to wear a contact lens in your second eye all the time. (I suppose that an eye patch would work, too.

m super excited to meet my little girl and such. i am 17 and a senior in high school. what kind of health insurance would be options for me to get got my baby.

If corrected for near vision, will my distance vision still significantly improve (I am about 20/200 vision) to the point where I can function well most of the time without glasses? I understand I would likely need to wear glasses for driving 2. Does anyone have personal or professional experience with patients choosing this option? If yes, are such patients any more likely to be happier or more dissatisfied than those choosing distance correction? 3.

I just got a new job 2 weeks ago and my fiances insurance wont cover my pregnancy. Any help on what other options I have?

So I just got denied by masshealth when I went to pick up my prescription and had to pay full price... I'm due in 30 days and scared I won't have insurance... I don't have money to pay out of pocket.... anyone know what my options are or are in the same boat as me.....

Jay, while I understand you feel the need to explore all your options, you really don’t want to end up on Medicaid; just ask someone that’s on it; it ain’t much fun. They will pay for treatment, by the way. I think you’ll find as you move forward that this while this is a big pain in the butt, you’ll get through it like the rest of us… most likely.

Dr wants to start me on Solvadi, Ribavarin and pegasys (sp) - i see many are talking about oly - anyone know differences of tx options or where i can find out? Then the biggie - getting insurance to pay, i was told i would have to go through a specialty pharmacy and they said IF your insurance company approves it. She said a month supply of solvadi w/o insurance is $35,000 and you need 3 months of it.

I hear your frustration. But first, you need to reach some acceptance of the "new you", because your only options at this point are IOL exchanges (both eyes) which is technically challenging at 6+ months after the original surgery, or refractive surgery to make you nearsighted again. I wouldn't recommend either one. I agree with JodieJ - get a high quality pair of progressive lenses.

I've been reading up on some birth options. And I personally have taken an interest in Water- birthing. I love the water to begin with and I like the idea of giving birth in water. I mean after they have been floating around in water for nine months and after reading about some of the benefits of water- birthing. I definitely believe that I want to water-birth my child. I dont like needles so an epidural is out of the question.

I had it done when my son was still at the hospital. He was 5 days old because he spent time in NICU. With my insurance I didn't see a bill for it so I Dont know if its more or less.

live with it or have a blepharoplasty (remove the bags and excess skin). If its bad enough insurance will sometimes pay if its blocking your peripheral vision. see an oculoplastic ophthalmologist Eye MD. Find one at www.aao.

I had surgery for my RE to repair numerous retinal tears and a detachment (scleral buckle and cryotherapy), and as a result have lots of floaters. I had a vitreous detachment in my LE and also have numerous floaters. My LE vision is good at 1 foot or less without glasses and I wear glasses for distance correction for both eyes. I have astigmatism in both eyes. I previously wore monovision contact lenses without difficulty.

Right now a major concern they also have is what options will be available for my brother when he is no longer covered under my parents health insurance and he is a college student himself trying to make ends meet. I know there must be something someone knows that can help one way or another. Any advice please?

I am uninsured and can not afford insurance (or am unaware of any affordable insurance). I am experiencing what I believe is a hyperthyroid problem, it runs in my family and talking to the family members that have it, Im sure I do too. With that said, i need some help finding affordable medical insurance, I'm in Georgia and I do not qualify for medicaid because I'm not pregnant. I feel like I'm dying and I need to seek care but can not afford and endocronologist.

What can I expect to go through. What are the percentages on having good vision afterwards? Is there much pain with this type of surgery?

Most noticeably he may not have clear vision either near, in his mid vision or for distance. I gave up a zone (mid) to have better near and far vision. Toric IOLs are used to correct astigmatism, but are single focus and can be set to one of the three zones. I don't believe there are yet multifocal Toric IOLs available in North America. As JodieJ described, there are other options. Properly mapped Lasik can certainly reduce astigmatism.
