As of January 01, 2026, WE ARE NOW IN-NETWORK PROVIDERS FOR MOST VSP, EYEMED, UHC-SPECTERA, SUPERIOR VISION, CIGNA and AETNA Vision plans. As always, we're also in-network providers for many medical plans, including BCBS, UHC, and Medicare. We can submit a medical claim instead of a vision claim if you have an eye-related medical issue. Our open access system can sometimes save you more - we always want to help you get the best value when using your benefits!
Since March of 2021, Envision Eyecare has been an OPEN ACCESS OFFICE. This model of care is an exciting change, allowing us to offer a new way of using vision insurance at our office. We made this change with the goal of continuing to provide an outstanding level of care and service, as well as the best eyewear products, no matter what insurance a patient might have.
Being Open Access Providers will allow us to accept all the same vision plans we have in the past, as well as many new plans. We will now be able to negotiate the best pricing, on the best products, and pass the savings on to our patients - while helping you still benefit from your vision plan. We want to make getting great care easy, affordable, and transparent.
- Some plans, like VSP, Spectera, Superior Vision, and EYEMED, will still pay Envision Eyecare directly for your vision benefits, using your in-network benefits.
- Other plans, like Davis Vision, will reimburse you, the patient, directly in 3-4 weeks using our open-access discount and your out-of-network benefits.
- Either way, we will make charges clear and easy to understand. As always, exam fees will be due at the time of the exam.
- We will always do our best to clarify any out-of-pocket portion by verifying your insurance before your exam.
If you are new to our office, we know you’ll notice the difference and appreciate the value in our quality-over-quantity philosophy when you experience it first-hand at Envision Eyecare.
If you are a previous patient with vision insurance, we look forward to the chance to continue providing the level of care you have come to expect from us.
Thank you from the Doctors and Staff at Envision Eyecare!
What our Open Access Care Model means for Patients:
- We will still accept the same vision insurance plans as before (including VSP, EyeMed, Cigna, and Aetna Vision Plans), as well as many additional plans (including Davis Vision, Superior Vision, and Spectera plans), but we will be out-of-network providers on some plans and in-network on others.
- We will still look up your benefits and submit the insurance claim for you, so we still make it easy to use your vision plan benefits.
- Without the in-network pricing agreement, our Open Access pricing is structured, to offer even more value and more transparent pricing.
- Every pair of glasses will still offer the highest quality for your needs and style, and every pair of glasses will still include our exclusive 2-year warranty.
- Our comprehensive exam will now include the EyeScreen Digital Retina Imaging at no extra charge. This important imaging technology was an option in the past, but had a $39 additional fee. It is now no additional charge and does not require dilation to get great retinal images on most patients.
- You will get the same great quality of care you have come to expect at Envision Eyecare – with the same excellent Doctors: Dr. Joshua Cantrell and Dr. Patricia Cantrell
Open Access Fees/Pricing Information:
- Any time you want to schedule an exam, we will be able to access your specific vision plan benefits quickly and let you know exactly how much your exam will cost using your benefits and/or our open-access pricing.
- If we are using your out-of-network benefits, the Comprehensive Eye Exam (previously $130) and EyeScreen Retinal Imaging (previously $39) will be discounted to $89 for the Open Access Comprehensive Eye Exam including EyeScreen Retinal Imaging, and then your out-of-network insurance benefit will be applied.
- Our Open Access Contact Lens Fitting fee will include a discount - usually to just $60 - and then your out-of-network contact lens fitting benefit will be applied to your fitting fee/contact lens supply. The fitting fee is still in addition to a comprehensive examination and includes 2 months of fitting follow-up visits (if needed) at no extra charge.
- We will still always share pricing for any contact lenses in which you are being fit, in writing at the time of your fitting, as well as any discounts we can offer on your specific lenses. We will always be able to clearly tell the amount your insurance will contribute to your contact lens purchase at Envision Eyecare.
- Our glasses pricing will be easier to understand and choose. We will carry the same great frame lines at even better prices and offer easy-to-understand lens package pricing to let you get the right lenses for your needs, regardless of your insurance plan's ownership/relationship with manufacturers.
