Vision coverage is an essential health benefit that helps cover the cost of vision care, such as eye exams and glasses. Whether you need regular check-ups to maintain your eye health or require corrective lenses, having vision coverage can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.


How Vision Coverage Works in the Marketplace

When you’re shopping for health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace, it’s important to know how vision benefits are included:

1. Vision Coverage for Children: All health plans offered through the Marketplace include vision coverage for children. This ensures that kids receive essential care such as eye exams, glasses, and other vision-related services.


2. Vision Coverage for Adults: While vision care is always included for children, only some Marketplace health plans offer vision coverage for adults. If adult vision coverage is important to you, make sure to review the details of each plan before enrolling. Look specifically for plans that cover eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses.


Stand-Alone Vision Plans

If the Marketplace health plan you’re considering doesn’t include adult vision coverage, you still have options. You can purchase a stand-alone vision plan separately, which is designed to cover vision care expenses.


However, it's important to note that the Marketplace doesn’t offer stand-alone vision plans for adults. To get vision coverage, you can:

- Contact an insurance agent or broker, such as Aura Insure, to find a suitable vision plan.

- Search online for stand-alone vision plans that meet your needs.

- Reach out to your state’s Department of Insurance for more information about available options.


Why Vision Coverage is Important

Maintaining your vision health is crucial for your overall well-being. Regular eye exams can detect early signs of eye diseases like glaucoma or cataracts, and can help keep your vision sharp with the right corrective lenses.


By having vision coverage, you can reduce your expenses on essential care, making it easier to access routine eye check-ups and purchase glasses or contact lenses as needed.
