EyeMed Eye Doctor in Nashville: How to Get the Most From Your EyeMed Benefits

Yes, Elite Eyecare Nashville is in network with EyeMed. We see EyeMed members every week for eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses at our office on Centennial Blvd in The Nations, and we know how to make your EyeMed benefits go further.

EyeMed is one of the most common vision plans in Nashville, but a lot of people have it without realizing it, because the name on their card says something else.

Not Sure If You Have EyeMed? Check Your Card

Many vision plans run on EyeMed's network behind the scenes. If your vision card says any of these, there's a good chance it's EyeMed:

• Cigna Vision (many Cigna vision plans are "serviced by EyeMed")
• BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee vision plans
• Blue View Vision (Anthem's vision plan, on EyeMed's Insight network)
• State of Tennessee employee vision plans (Partners for Health)

You can also log in at eyemed.com to see your benefits, or just call us and we'll check for you.

Nashville Employers Whose Plans We See Often

As of 2026, we regularly see EyeMed members who work for employers like HCA Healthcare, Aegis Sciences, Schneider Electric, Omnicom Group, and the State of Tennessee. Employers can change vision carriers from year to year, so if you're not sure, check your card or give us a call.

How We Help You Get the Most From EyeMed

No two EyeMed plans are exactly alike. The same plan name can have different copays, allowances, and lens coverage depending on your employer. That's why we don't guess. Here's what we do for every EyeMed patient:

• We check your benefits before you arrive. We pull your exact plan so you know your exam copay and what's covered for glasses or contacts before you walk in.
• We explain your options in plain English. EyeMed plans often cover upgrades like anti-reflective coatings, thinner lenses, and progressives at set copays. We show you exactly what each option costs on your plan, so you're not surprised at checkout.
• We help you choose glasses or contacts. Many EyeMed plans cover glasses or contacts in a given benefit period, not both. We'll compare both ways and tell you where your benefit does the most good.
• We make your frame allowance count. We'll point you to frames that fit your allowance, or show you what you'd owe if you fall in love with something above it.
• We don't let benefits go to waste. If you have money left over, or your benefits are about to reset, we'll tell you.

Same-Day Glasses for Many EyeMed Members

Because we cut lenses in our office and keep about 600 lenses in stock, many single vision EyeMed prescriptions can be ready the same day. Progressives and specialty lenses are made at an outside lab. Learn about same-day glasses.

Contacts in Stock

We keep many common daily contact lenses in the office, so you may be able to leave with your EyeMed contact lens supply the same day. See our contact lens services.
