Financing & Insurance
FinancialsFor about the cost of a pleasurable vacation, a fancy laptop, or a new wardrobe you can have life changing vision correction and freedom from contacts and glasses. Plus your investment is returned in 7 to 10 years. PRICE OF THE INITIAL PROCEDURE
The cost of vision correction depends on the procedure that´s best for you. The cost also varies from the physician´s experience. More experienced surgeons may charge a higher fee. The cost also depends on what is included in the vision correction package. Many doctors include pre-operative and post-operative care as well limited warranties. So when shopping around, make sure you´re comparing apples to apples. On average, in the U.S., the cost for blade LASIK surgery is $1,975 per eye. Whereas bladeless all laser LASIK can cost several hundred dollars more. When you shop around, you´ll find doctors who charge less… and doctors who charge more. And although it´s only natural that you want to get the best price… remember, you also have to think about quality and service. The following are some questions that can assist you with evaluating the services provided by a practice:
Each patient must determine for themselves the level of service they require and the quality of care they need in order to feel comfortable about the decision to undergo surgery. After all, this is a procedure you´ll likely have only once in your lifetime, and your vision is one of your most important assets. PRICE OF AN ENHANCEMENT PROCEDURE
The following questions can assist you with your evaluation.
Finally, be sure to read all the fine print regarding enhancements very carefully to determine what obligations, if any, you must fulfill in order to be eligible. INSURANCE CONCERNSAlthough Lasik is not a cosmetic surgery, it is considered an elective procedure. Most insurance companies in the United States and Canada will not cover the cost, nor will Medicare cover it. Patients should check with their insurance companies to see if they do have partial or full coverage. In most cases, the cost of the procedure may be allowed by medical flex plans or medical cafeteria plans that allow pre-tax dollars to be set aside for medical expenses. Patients should check with their employers to see if they offer this type of benefit. Several companies in the United States are now covering LASIK for their employees, to an extent. You may also want to check with your employer, who may receive discounts by using an Insurance Agent or Broker to get their health insurance. LASIK discounts may be available through these agents or brokers outside of your normal healthcare provider. Moreover, it is possible that the cost of LASIK may be deducted from your U.S. federal income taxes. You should check with your accountant to see if you can take LASIK as a deductible health expense.

The cost for the LASIK procedure can vary tremendously, depending upon conditions specific to the patient and area. Practices set their own prices and determine the services that are offered at those prices. As you consider the various quotes, keep in mind that you should also be comparing services.
The cost of enhancement procedures also varies. Some surgeons do not charge their patients for enhancements during a certain postoperative period. Others may charge a nominal fee. Most surgeons will charge a patient considerably less for an enhancement than they charge for an initial procedure.
