Insurance

A message from Susan Durham, founder and owner of Brier Creek Vision Care:


Effective May 1, 2021, we will no longer be in-network providers for:

  • AlwaysCare
  • Community Eye Care
  • Medicaid
  • Opticare
  • Spectera
  • Superior Vision

While we will no longer be considered “in-network” providers for these plans, our staff is happy to assist you in maximizing your “out of network” benefits and you can expect to receive a direct reimbursement from your vision benefits plan 2-4 weeks after we have filed your claim. 

We will continue to accept all major medical insurance plans. You may utilize your medical insurance benefits to help offset the cost of your eye exam when a medical condition such as cataracts, diabetes, dry eye, glaucoma, etc. is present. When scheduling your appointment, please let our staff know if there may be reason to file your eye exam to your major medical insurance. We will continue to welcome all Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA).

Thank you for your continued loyalty to Brier Creek Vision Care. We take pride in offering the highest level of patient care and we believe this transition will allow us to refocus our attention on our valued patients. Please call, email, or text our office to learn more about maximizing your vision benefit plan.
