Many People Turning To Bartering For Health Services

With the downturn in the economy, many people are wondering how they can afford LASIK and the many other procedures they want, without having to front the full weight of the bill. Some people are using bartering as a way to get the health services they want without paying for everything.

While not all LASIK eye surgeons or ophthalmologists take part in bartering for vision procedures, most of them do provide their patients with a few different financing options to help them pay for the procedure.

Whether you're receiving help from your insurance company, using a credit card, or using an independent financing company to pay for your LASIK, there are options available to you so that you can fit your procedure into your budget.

In general, financing options are similar to a loan made to you so that you can pay for your LASIK, PRK, or other refractive procedure. After receiving the procedure you want, you can pay the loan back over a period of time that you can usually customize. Whether making smaller payments over the course of 24 months, or larger payments over 6 or 12 months, you can probably get the procedure you want on even smallest budget.

If you have been considering LASIK or any other refractive procedure, but are concerned about the cost, please contact an experienced LASIK eye surgeon in your area to learn more about the financing options available to you.
