OUR MISSION

That philosophy is where our name comes from: One to One.

Technology With a Purpose
We believe advanced technology is most valuable when it helps us make a better decision for an individual patient.
Our practice incorporates modern diagnostic and surgical technologies for cataract surgery, corneal disease, glaucoma, ocular surface disease, macular degeneration, and vision correction.
But we don’t believe that newer automatically means better for every patient.
Our job is to understand the technology, understand your eyes, and recommend the option that makes the most sense for you.

Insurance, Vision Benefits & Self-Pay
Understanding Your Eye Care Coverage
Medical insurance and vision insurance serve different purposes, and determining which plan applies to an eye-care visit can sometimes be confusing.
We participate with many major insurance plans and are happy to help you understand how your visit will be billed. Coverage, deductibles, copays, referrals, and network participation vary by individual plan, so we recommend confirming your benefits directly with your insurance company before receiving care.
Questions? Call us at 858-273-0200.
Medical Insurance
Medical insurance is generally used when you are being evaluated or treated for an eye disease, medical condition, injury, or surgical problem.
Examples include:
- Cataracts
- Glaucoma
- Macular degeneration
- Diabetic eye disease
- Corneal disease
- Dry eye and ocular surface disease
- Eye infections or injuries
- Medically necessary eye surgery
We participate with many PPO medical insurance plans, including:
Aetna
Anthem Blue Cross
Blue Shield of California
Cigna
GEHA
Health Net of California
MultiPlan / PHCS
SAMBA
UnitedHealthcare
Participation can vary by the specific plan or network. Please contact your insurer or our office to confirm participation for your particular policy.
Medicare
Yes. We participate with traditional Medicare Part B for covered medical eye care.
Medicare generally covers medically necessary evaluation and treatment of eye disease but does not cover routine refraction for eyeglasses.
Deductibles, coinsurance, supplemental insurance, and Medicare Advantage benefits vary.
We also participate with selected Medicare Advantage PPO plans. Because network participation and patient responsibility differ significantly among plans, please verify your specific benefits before your appointment or surgery.
TRICARE, TriWest & CHAMPVA
We participate with TRICARE For Life and certain TRICARE plans and can see eligible patients through authorized TriWest/VA Community Care referrals.
We also participate with CHAMPVA.
Referral or authorization requirements may apply depending on your plan. Please contact your plan or our office before scheduling if you are unsure.
Medi-Cal Plans
We are not broadly contracted with Medi-Cal or most HMO networks (other than Sharp Community Medical Group SCMG through the Metro Region).Â
Patients whose insurance is out of network may also choose to see us using our self-pay options.
Vision Insurance
Vision insurance is different from medical insurance.
Vision plans generally provide benefits for routine vision examinations, eyeglasses, and contact lenses rather than diagnosis or treatment of eye disease.
We participate with:
VSP
EyeMed
Benefits vary by plan.
If a medical eye problem is identified during a routine examination, additional evaluation or follow-up may need to be billed through your medical insurance rather than your vision plan.Â
Medical Insurance vs. Vision Insurance: Which One Do I Use?
A simple way to think about it:
| Reason for Visit | Usually Applies |
|---|---|
| Routine eye exam | Vision benefits |
| Glasses prescription | Vision benefits / self-pay |
| Contact lenses | Vision benefits / self-pay |
| Cataract | Medical insurance |
| Glaucoma | Medical insurance |
| Macular degeneration | Medical insurance |
| Corneal disease | Medical insurance |
| Dry eye evaluation/treatment | Usually medical insurance |
| Eye infection or injury | Medical insurance |
| LASIK / PRK | Generally self-pay |
Cataract Surgery & Premium Lens Options
Medically necessary cataract surgery is generally covered by Medicare and most medical insurance plans, subject to your plan’s deductible, copay, coinsurance, network, and authorization requirements.
Some patients choose additional elective refractive services or advanced lens options designed to reduce dependence on glasses. These services may involve additional out-of-pocket costs beyond what medical insurance covers.
Before surgery, our team will review the options available to you and the associated costs so that you can make an informed decision.
LASIK, PRK & Refractive Surgery
LASIK, PRK, and other elective vision-correction procedures are generally not covered by medical insurance.
Some employer or vision-benefit programs may provide discounts.
We offer complimentary refractive surgery screenings for appropriate patients and competitive self-pay options.
Self-Pay Options
Patients without participating insurance—or those who prefer to receive care outside their insurance network—are welcome to see our physicians on a self-pay basis.
Costs vary according to the type of examination, testing, or procedure required. We can provide estimates for planned services, although additional diagnostic testing may be recommended after your physician examines you.
For surgical procedures, estimates may include separate surgeon, facility, anesthesia, implant, or other applicable fees, depending on the procedure.
Please call us for current self-pay pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether you accept my exact plan?
Insurance companies offer many plans with different networks under the same company name. The most reliable way to confirm coverage is to contact the member-services number on your insurance card and ask whether our physician and location participate with your specific plan.
Why do I still owe money if you accept my insurance?
Being in-network does not necessarily mean your visit has no cost. Deductibles, copays, coinsurance, non-covered services, and plan-specific limitations may still apply.
Is a glasses prescription covered by Medicare?
Traditional Medicare generally does not cover a routine refraction performed solely to determine an eyeglass prescription. Patients may have separate vision benefits that provide coverage.
Can I use medical and vision insurance at the same visit?
Medical and vision plans have different rules regarding coordination of benefits. Depending on the services required and your plans’ requirements, separate visits may sometimes be appropriate. Our staff can help you understand how your appointment will be handled.
Do you offer self-pay care?
Yes. Competitive self-pay options are available for office visits, diagnostic testing, and surgical care.
