Question:
I just had a consult for Lasik here in Henderson, NV, and was quoted a
price that was over $4,000 for both eyes for something called
CustomCornea. I didn't realize the price was so high. I've seen ads
touting $300 per eye. Does anyone know why this one place would
charge so much more than other places?
Also, my current insurance provider, Nevada Care, will not cover
the procedure. Does anyone know of an insurance provider that will
cover Lasik? Thanks in advance.
Any experience about Vision Service Plan Insurance?
Answer:
The good surgeons around here charge around $4000 for a wavefront
procedure for both eyes as well. VSP (Vision Service Plan) gets you
around a $500 discount off the price. You might call your surgeons
office, and ask them which insurance plans offer you a discount. I am
unaware of any plans that cover the price completely.
I've seen the ads around here (Portland, OR) for the $299 LASIK, too,
and I noticed that the fine print says that the price is only
available with the Nidek laser (older technology) and only certain
prescriptions apply. I would stay away from these places like the
plague.
