Healthy Blue Eye Exams in North Carolina

At Reflect Vision Care, our eye doctors proudly accept Healthy Blue. We also participate with a variety of vision and medical insurance plans, including NC Medicaid managed care, so you and your family can receive the care you need.

Does Healthy Blue Cover Eye Exams and Glasses for Children and Adults?

Yes! Children and adults are eligible for an eye exam and glasses through Healthy Blue, which administers vision care benefits for NC Medicaid managed care members.

If you have a medical eye problem, such as pink eye, allergies, dry eye, glaucoma, or cataracts, coverage is provided through NC Medicaid and NC Health Choice.

Will Healthy Blue Replace Broken Frames?

Healthy Blue does not replace broken frames. If your glasses break before you are eligible for a new pair, you’ll need to pay out of pocket for a replacement.

💡 A good rule of thumb for kids: “If they’re not on your face, they’re in your case!”

Does Healthy Blue Cover Contact Lenses?

Healthy Blue does not cover contact lens materials or evaluation fees. If you’d like to wear contact lenses, this would be an out-of-pocket expense.

Fortunately, Reflect Vision Care provides affordable contact lens evaluations and offers safe, comfortable lenses, many of which are budget-friendly.

Does Healthy Blue Cover LASIK Surgery?

No. Healthy Blue does not cover LASIK or other elective vision correction surgeries. Like most insurances, LASIK is considered cosmetic.
