vision plans and anagram

At Valley Vision, we’re a direct care optometry studio, which means we aren’t in-network with vision insurance—but we do help you use your benefits in a way that is often more transparent, simpler, and more cost-effective.

To make this easy, we use a platform called Anagram.

What Is Anagram?

Anagram is a secure tool that helps us:

  • Check your out-of-network vision benefits instantly

  • Submit reimbursement forms on your behalf

  • Provide a real-time breakdown of what your plan will reimburse

  • Give you clear, upfront, honest pricing — no billing games, no surprise statements

It allows Valley Vision to deliver the boutique, transparent experience you expect, while still helping you take advantage of any benefits available to you.

Why We Use Anagram Instead of Traditional Insurance Billing

Traditional insurance models often force practices to:

  • Mark up products

  • Limit lens quality

  • Shorten exam times

  • Choose “covered” options instead of what’s best for you

We don’t believe great vision care should work that way.

Staying out of network allows us to offer:

  • Premium lenses without insurance restrictions

  • Honest, predictable pricing

  • Longer, more thoughtful exams

  • A curated eyewear collection chosen for quality—not coverage

Anagram simply helps bridge the gap so you can still utilize your benefits.

How It Works at Your Visit

1. BRING YOUR VISION PLAN INFO

We only need your insurance provider and basic member details.

2. WE CHECK YOUR OUT-OF-NETWORK BENEFITS IN SECONDS

Anagram pulls your reimbursement amounts in real time
(Example: frames, exam, contact lens evaluation, or lenses).

3. YOU PAY VALLEY VISION DIRECTLY

No surprise statements. No hidden charges.
Just simple, transparent pricing.

4. WE FILE YOUR CLAIM THROUGH ANAGRAM

Anagram submits the paperwork electronically so you get reimbursed faster, typically by check or direct deposit.

MOST PATIENTS RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT IN 2–4 WEEKS.

What You May Be Reimbursed For

Every plan is different, but common reimbursements include:

  • Comprehensive eye exam

  • Contact lens fitting

  • Eyeglass frames

  • Single vision, progressive, and specialty lenses

  • Contact lenses

We’ll show you the exact dollar amounts while you’re here.

Anagram because it lets us stay: Patient-centered, transparent, insurance-simplified, quality-driven

We want you to enjoy the boutique Valley Vision experience while still getting the value from your benefits.
