Get the care you want, when you need it
Help pay for your family’s vision care with the CareCredit healthcare card — the health and wellness credit card designed exclusively for healthcare services, with special financing options.
CareCredit can also be used for dental work, cosmetic treatments, trips to the veterinarian and other healthcare specialties at enrolled providers. You can even use it for co-payments and deductibles.
With CareCredit you can reserve your cash and free up your general-purpose credit cards for other expenses. Once you have it, you can use it as often as you want without reapplying, as long as you have available credit. It is accepted at more than 200,000 providers nationwide.

- Contact lenses

Understanding what you will owe
No surprises. Here is how cost is handled from consultation through surgery.
Verify your benefits
Coverage varies by plan. Check with your carrier before scheduling, and our billing team can help you interpret what you find.
Your consultation
We confirm what your plan covers for the specific service you need, and flag anything that falls outside it — such as a refraction or contact lens fitting fee.
Financial Advance Notice
If you are scheduled for a procedure, you receive this form at your preoperative visit. It estimates what your insurance is expected to pay and what you would owe.
Separate billing
Facility charges from the surgery center are billed separately from physician, anesthesia and pathology fees. You may receive more than one statement.
Financing if you need it
CareCredit spreads the cost over time with special financing options, and requires no reapplication once you have the card.
Financial hardship
There may be ways to reduce your financial responsibility for surgery-center services. Contact the facility’s business office to ask about our policies.
Frequently asked questions about paying for your care
What is CareCredit?
CareCredit is a health and wellness credit card designed exclusively for healthcare services, with special financing options. It is accepted at more than 200,000 providers nationwide.
What can I use CareCredit for at Newsom Eye?
Glasses and sunglasses, contact lenses, LASIK and more. Outside our practice it can also be used for dental work, cosmetic treatments, veterinary visits and other healthcare specialties at enrolled providers — including co-payments and deductibles.
Do I have to reapply each time?
No. Once you have CareCredit you can use it as often as you like without reapplying, as long as you have available credit.
Why use CareCredit instead of a regular credit card?
It lets you reserve your cash and keep your general-purpose credit cards free for other expenses, while taking advantage of special financing options on healthcare spending.
Does financing cover surgery-center charges?
Facility charges from the surgery center are billed separately from physician, anesthesia and pathology fees. Ask the surgery center’s business office what applies to your procedure — and about financial hardship policies if cost is a barrier.
Will I know what I owe before my procedure?
Yes. All patients scheduled for a procedure receive a Financial Advance Notice form at their preoperative visit, estimating what we expect your insurance to pay and any out-of-pocket amount.
Does Newsom Eye take my insurance?
We accept Medicare, Medicaid and a wide range of commercial medical and vision plans. See the full list on our insurance page, and verify your specific benefits with your carrier before scheduling.
