We accept MES Vision insurance. And yes, we are high tech and have access to a retinal camera. If you do not want to dilate and wish to have the back of your eyes (the retina) photographed instead, you may talk to our doctor to determine if this option is acceptable for you (not all patients should forego dilation). Optometry offices SHOULD have retinal cameras if they’re serious about your ocular health and welfare.

Also, if you have Blue Shield of California as your medical insurance, there is a good possibility that MES Vision is your independent administrator of your vision insurance benefits.

Morgan Hill Eyecare Optometry will begin taking Medicare and MediCAL (California’s version of MedicAID) soon. We hope for final approval in August and expect to start seeing Medicare and MediCAL patients in late August or early September. Morgan Hill Eyecare Optometry will be one of only two optometry practices in Morgan Hill that will accept Medicare/MediCAL.

If you have Medicare or MediCAL, please see approved Medicare/MediCAL offices. Many practices will offer “cash rebates” or “discounts” to entice Medicare/MediCAL patients. These practices are not approved by CMS and do not offer medical exams which is often necessary for the aging population.

Offices approved by CMS must meet quality and technology standards many offices can not match. All CMS offices must be able to screen, detect, and manage diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration and therefore must have equipment such as automated perimeters, retinal cameras, etc.
