Insurance notes
Standard health insurance — including plans sold on the Nebraska insurance marketplace — generally does not cover LASIK, PRK, SMILE, or ICL because these are classified as elective procedures.
Exceptions: some employer-sponsored vision plans (VSP, EyeMed) include a discount benefit (15–25% off) at participating providers. Check your benefits portal or call your vision carrier directly.
