Insurance at Cohen Eye Institute: What You Need to Know

At Cohen Eye Institute, we believe in clear, patient-first communication, especially regarding insurance and out-of-pocket expenses. While standard cataract surgery and other medically necessary treatments are typically covered by insurance, premium upgrades such as laser-assisted surgery or advanced intraocular lenses are not. These enhancements may require an additional investment, but for many, the improvement in clarity, independence, and quality of life is priceless.

Led by Dr. Ilan Cohen, one of the most experienced and respected eye surgeons in the region, with over 80,000 vision procedures performed, including for more than 1,000 fellow physicians, our practice is trusted by patients who want the best possible outcomes, even when insurance doesn’t cover the full path to clarity. Whether you're exploring custom lenses, advanced laser techniques, or refractive procedures, our team will walk you through your options, answer your questions honestly, and help you plan confidently.

What Is and Isn't Covered

Most insurance plans will pay for the core surgical components of necessary procedures, like standard cataract removal. However, upgrades designed to improve visual outcomes, reduce dependence on glasses, or speed recovery may fall under premium services. Here’s a simplified breakdown:

Typically Covered:
- Standard cataract surgery
- Medically necessary eye procedures
- Diagnostic testing for certain conditions
Typically Not Covered:
- Laser-assisted cataract surgery
- Multifocal or toric lens implants
- Advanced refractive procedures and enhancements

Our team is happy to review your specific insurance plan, explain what’s covered, and highlight any premium service upgrades that may benefit you based on your vision goals.

Cohen Eye Institute: Your Path to Better Vision

We understand that not all patients budget for non-covered care, and we’re here to make premium treatment accessible and manageable. At Cohen Eye Institute, we offer:

Guidance on financing options and third-party lenders
Personalized timelines to accommodate budget planning
Transparent pricing and explanation of all potential costs

Many patients view premium lens options or laser enhancements as a one-time investment in long-term freedom from glasses, blurred vision, and unnecessary limitations. When a surgeon is one of the most trusted in the field, like Dr. Cohen, that investment feels even more worthwhile. Ready to take the next step toward sharper, life-changing eyesight?
