How do I know if my frames are covered?
All frames marked with the green shield icon in our shop are eligible for insurance coverage including Medicaid, Medicare (where applicable), VSP, and EyeMed. Budget frames from the Sabroe Value line are always insurance-eligible.
Can I use my VisionCheck test results as my prescription?
VisionCheck provides a preliminary vision assessment to help you understand your eye health. For purchasing prescription lenses, you will need a formal prescription from a licensed optometrist or ophthalmologist. We recommend booking an eye exam if our test suggests you may need corrective lenses.
What if my insurance doesn't cover the full cost?
You pay only the difference above your covered amount. We also offer flexible payment options including Stripe and PayPal. Our Sabroe Value line starts at just $19, making quality eyewear accessible even without full coverage.
How do I submit an out-of-network claim?
We provide itemized receipts for all purchases that you can submit to your insurance provider for out-of-network reimbursement. Contact your insurance company for their out-of-network claim form and submission instructions.
Does Medicaid cover children's glasses?
Yes. Under EPSDT (Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment), Medicaid is required to cover vision services for children under 21, including eye exams and corrective lenses. Our Kids Flex frames are specifically designed to be Medicaid-eligible.
Browse our insurance-eligible frames and use your Medicaid, Medicare, VSP, or EyeMed benefits at checkout. Many customers pay $0 out of pocket.
