Covering a household means covering two groups the ACA treats differently. Routine eye exams and glasses for adults aren’t an essential health benefit, so a health plan in Virginia doesn’t have to cover them. Whatever health plan you pick through Virginia’s Insurance Marketplace, adult vision coverage is a separate decision in Prince William County.
Children's Vision Coverage in Prince William County
Regular exams matter most for children, because a child rarely says they can’t see the board. The American Optometric Association recommends a comprehensive eye exam before first grade and every year after that.
Children on a Marketplace health plan already have vision coverage, because pediatric vision is an essential health benefit; the adults don’t, and need a separate vision plan.
