Does Private health insurance cover laser eye surgery?

Private health insurance coverage for laser eye surgery varies. Most insurance programs, including Medicare, use the term “medical necessity” to determine coverage. If a medical procedure preserves health, health insurers consider it a medical necessity. Thus, they approve of it.

Routine surgeries to preserve vision rarely fall under these protections. Unfortunately, that means that people who want laser eye surgery may not be able to use their Medicare benefits to do so.

There are a limited number of private health insurance companies that offer a health insurance rebate for laser eye surgery and vision correction. You can view the list of insurance companies that we accept here.

To know if you are eligible for a rebate you will need to contact your health fund directly.

If you have insurance with one of the health funds that do provide a rebate, we will provide you with a tax invoice for you to forward to your fund to make your claim.

Is laser eye surgery worth the money?

The upfront cost of laser eye surgery may seem substantial to correct your refractive errors, but the investment pays off when compared to a lifetime of expenses on glasses and contact lenses. On average, patients recoup the LASIK surgery cost in about 10 years, equivalent to the ongoing expenses associated with traditional vision correction methods.

Consider the cost of refilling prescriptions, lens fitting, lens solution, and buying new glasses. Consider the amount of time you can waste fiddling with glasses and contact lenses.

Investing in laser procedures offers long-term savings and freedom from ongoing hassles. If you’re going to pay for it anyway, they might as well get the vision you want without needing to wear glasses and contact lenses.
