Covered by medical insurance?
Optegra are recognised by all major medical insurers.  If you have medical insurance and would like to use this to cover the cost of treatment, it is important to contact your insurer before you commence your treatment.  If you wish for a member of the patient liaison team to speak with your insurer on your behalf, we will be happy to do that.

* On occassion, our surgeons have recommend that a patient would benefit from an additional diagnostic test, due to the nature of their condition.  Should this be the case, yuou will be advised prior to the additional test as these are charged separately.

Covered by medical insurance?
Refractive treatments are a elective, and therefore not covered by private medical insurance.  However, if you are having a cataract procedure and would like to "upgrade" your lens to a refractive lens instead of a monofocal, your insurer may pay for part of your refractive procedure to cover the cataract cost.  Each insurer is different however, so it is important to speak with them before you commence your treatment.
