How our telehealth appointments work
If you have any questions or concerns about our Telehealth services being offered at Wisconsin Vision, please contact your nearest store today for more information. Telehealth services are not yet available at all Wisconsin Vision locations. See the list below to find our nearest Telehealth location.
Disclaimer: Insurance coverage for eye exams varies from state to state and from plan to plan. 48 states cover telemedicine involved with live video conferencing under Medicaid. Medicare offers telemedicine for patients in rural and underserved areas. Digital eye exams fall under vision coverage in your insurance policy.
Though Telehealth eye exam appointments are virtual, the equipment in our optometry offices is needed to perform a thorough eye exam. You will still need to go to your nearest Wisconsin Vision location for a Telehealth eye exam.
A comprehensive eye exam is conducted with an on-screen technician and/or Optometrist through a video call to get you an accurate eyeglass prescription in less than 30 minutes. Whether you meet a technician or Optometrist over video chat will depend on who is at your Wisconsin Vision store at the time of your eye exam appointment. Remember, Telehealth appointments are in-store.
Telehealth is a new, innovative way to conduct comprehensive eye exams with an on-screen licensed Optometrist through a video call. Digital eye exams make it easy for you to schedule an appointment at your convenience, because you don’t need to depend on your Optometrist to be at the office with you at the time of your appointment.
Anyone can schedule a Telehealth eye exam at Wisconsin Vision, regardless of insurance coverage.
No. Since the Optometrist doesn’t have to be on-site for exams, there is no additional cost to having them available throughout the day.
Yes, most insurance companies will cover a Telehealth eye exam because it helps to detect eye disease and reduces the cost of in-person comprehensive exams.
Advancements in technology help improve the efficiency of optometric tools and replicate the on-site, in-person eye exam with an on-screen Optometrist.
You can expect the same treatment as a usual exam when you schedule a Telehealth eye exam at Wisconsin Vision. The only difference is that you will be receiving care from an on-screen Optometrist through a high definition video conference. Most of the process will be the same and in-store staff will be there to help you through the process.
None. Telehealth digital exams offer the same comprehensive exam that standard in-person exams offer.
If a condition is found that we cannot treat, the Optometrist will refer you to a specialist. Remember, regular eye exams are the best way to identify and properly address any health conditions with your eyes.
