Social Security covers many medical procedures. Complementary health insurance offers additional reimbursement depending on the contract subscribed to. But what about eye surgeries? Here is the answer from your specialist in refractive surgery in Lyon.
How much does refractive surgery cost?
At Clinique Néovision, a specialist in laser refractive surgery in Lyon, this surgery is charged between 1,940 and 3,200 euros for both eyes depending on the technique used. If it involves placing intraocular implants, the procedure requires a preliminary quote.
Is refractive surgery reimbursed by health insurance?
While cataract or glaucoma surgeries are covered by the CPAM, refractive surgery is considered an elective procedure. As such, it is not reimbursed by Social Security.
However, if the surgery is performed for medical reasons, it may be covered. To find out, you should send the quote to your insurance fund before the surgery to determine the possible reimbursement rate by the CPAM.
Is refractive surgery covered by mutual health insurance?
It all depends on your contract. Again, you should request a quote from the surgeon performing the procedure and submit it to your mutual insurance to find out what coverage is offered.
Feel free to contact our office secretariat to obtain a quote and learn about the payment options for refractive surgery.
