Insurance information at Texas Vision Therapy

We believe in being upfront about both the clinical process and the financial structure of care. Our goal is to make it easy for you to understand what to expect—both medically and financially—before getting started.

Do you take insurance?

Why we don’t bill insurance

Our care model focuses on brain-based visual function, not just eyesight. This includes:
  • Eye teaming and coordination
  • Eye tracking and movement
  • Focusing flexibility
  • Visual processing and integration

Most insurance plans are designed around:
  • Basic eye exams
  • Glasses prescriptions
  • Disease detection

They often do not cover the type of in-depth evaluation and rehabilitation we provide. By working outside of insurance networks, we are able to:
  • Spend more time with each patient
  • Perform comprehensive functional testing
  • Provide individualized treatment programs

Texas Vision Therapy is a private-pay practice, which means we do not directly bill medical or vision insurance for services. However, many of our services may qualify for out-of-network reimbursement depending on your plan.

What we provide:
  • A detailed superbill after your visit
  • Diagnostic and procedure codes required for submission
  • Support documentation when needed

What you do:
  • Submit the superbill to your insurance
  • Receive reimbursement directly from your plan (if eligible)

Many families use PPO plans, HSA, or FSA accounts to offset the cost of care.

Many families use PPO plans, HSA, or FSA accounts to offset the cost of care.
Your first step is a comprehensive functional vision evaluation, designed to assess how your eyes and brain work together. What this includes:
  • Detailed case history
  • Eye teaming (binocular vision) testing
  • Eye tracking and movement analysis
  • Focusing system evaluation
  • Visual processing screening
  • Doctor consultation and explanation of findings

Time: Approximately 2 hours total
Fee: $250

This is not a routine eye exam—it is a functional and neurological assessment of the visual system.













Functional vision evaluation

If a visual problem is identified, we may recommend a structured program of vision therapy. What therapy involves:
  • 60-minute, one-on-one sessions with a trained therapist
  • Customized activities targeting your specific visual deficits
  • Ongoing doctor oversight and progress evaluations
  • Home reinforcement activities (10–15 minutes/day)

Every program is individualized, but the majority of programs fall within 24–44 sessions total, typically completed over 6–10 months. We will provide:
  • A clear recommendation
  • A written financial breakdown











Vision therapy programs

We offer flexible ways to move forward with care:
  • Payment per individual sessions and progress evaluations. The per session price is $180.
  • Monthly payments, includes a 5% prompt payment discount off of the total price. This is the most common option for families.
  • Pay-in-full, includes a 10% prompt payment discount off of the total price

What are you paying for?

“Is this worth it if insurance doesn’t cover it?”
For many patients, this is the first time someone has identified the root cause of their symptoms. The goal is not temporary relief—it’s long-term functional improvement.

“Can we take breaks if needed?”
Yes. Therapy can be paused and resumed as needed. Progress is not generally lost, as skills build over time, but it is always worth discussing this with Dr Chelette based on your specific case.

“What if we’re not ready to start right away?”
That’s completely fine. Many families take time to process the information before beginning care.. We’re here when you’re ready.

Frequently asked questions at Texas Vision Therapy

What to expect during your brain-based vision evaluation with Dr. Chelette?

Your first visit is designed to answer a different question than a routine eye exam: Why are these symptoms happening if your eyes “seem fine”?

Most patients we see have been told their vision is 20/20 and that everything looks "normal," although they are still dealing with headaches or eye strain, reading difficulties or slow comprehension, dizziness or motion sensitivity, trouble focusing or attention challenges, or symptoms after a concussion.

This is because many vision problems are neurological and functional, not optical.



Your evaluation includes approximately 120 minutes of direct doctor time, focused on identifying problems within the visual system that affect daily performance.

Our goal is to reduce frustration and misdiagnosis. We want you to feel informed, supported, and confident in understanding both the problem and the options available to address it.

  • Eye teaming (binocular vision dysfunction) – How well your eyes work together as a coordinated system
  • Eye tracking (reading & learning performance) – How efficiently your eyes move across a page or screen
  • Eye focusing (visual endurance & clarity) – Your ability to sustain clear vision over time
  • Visual processing & eye-brain coordination – How your brain interprets and responds to visual information
  • Refraction and functional lens testing – Whether glasses may reduce strain or improve comfort
  • Basic eye health screening – To rule out medical eye conditions


  • Pinpoint the root cause of symptoms
  • Explain what we found in clear, understandable terms

What I admire most about specialty doctors, are how the core issues are identified and addressed.

Dr. Chelette instilled a sense of hope that is so undervalued by many medical professionals today. If you are considering going here for a consultation, know that you will be listened to and thoroughly assessed.

Prior to visiting this clinic, I had seen four different licensed opthamologists over the last four years for the same issue and they all provided a traditional anatomical approach providing a new prescription that did little more than block harmful blue light. Not one prior doctor recommended exercises or attempted to understand the origin of the issue without asking. If you are unsure of a consultation, let this review provide some positive encouragement at a chance to improve your quality of life. This is easily a 5 star service.

I had suffered from vertigo and other symptoms, since I was 10 years old. Over the years I have had an MRI & CT scans of my brain, taken medications and the list goes on and on. I am now 52 years old. I found Dr. Chelette a few weeks ago. In one session, he was able to figure out what was wrong with me. I had double vision this whole time. With the proper eyeglasses prescription that Dr. Chelette wrote, my life is now normal. No more vertigo and no more headaches! I can drive without fear. The biggest plus is Dr. Chelette didn't rush through the visit. He took the time to listen to me and diagnose my issue. I have so much confidence in Dr. Chelette that I am now taking my son for a visit because I believe he can help him.

— Martin A.

Dr. Chelette is amazing!!! He is great with kids that are struggling with visual issues. In fact, I was referred to him by a famous neuroscientist and author Susan Berry, which speaks volumes of his reputation. He has a depth of knowledge and understanding that is unique in the field. There are less than 2/3 optometrist who tackle these visual difficulties in Houston but he by far is the best. My son’s prescription has improved and we are hoping he can soon come out of his glasses!

We landed here when looking for a second consult, confirming the assessment we had from the first place. But the other place was far from Katy, had too busy a schedule, only offered therapy during business hours and recommended the elementary school kids come for sessions mid morning before they are too tired. All great things, but not practical at all, considering the sessions are weekly and easily run for up to 8-months.

Doc here was super attentive to parents concerns, invested in how his clinic is run, offered preemptively the accommodations I could ask of teaching conditions at school and didn’t hassle us over a few months when we were still making our decision. Once we opted in, weekly experience has been great, kid really enjoys their time here and even though medical insurance wasn’t gonna cover the treatment, the clinic accepted our FSA card. Looking forward to mid-treatment evaluation, earnestly.

We have a son that has been doing vision therapy here and we have seen DRAMATIC improvements. We’ve even caught him reading on his own. We are SO grateful for this. It’s already been a game changer for us.

I took my 3 year old daughter to see Dr Justin Chelette for her lazy eye and I learned more on our first visit than I did in a year of regular visits at our previous optometrist. My visit to Texas Vision Therapy was night and day different than what I’d experienced previously. We didn’t have to wait to see the Dr, we walked right in and he spent over an hour working with my toddler doing various exercises. Dr Chelette got on the ground with her to demonstrate some play based exercises we can do at home to help pull her eye out. I loved that anytime he said something about how this or that would help to pull my daughters eye muscles out I didn’t have to take his word for it, he physically showed me how her eye would move out. After being told by a previous optometrist that there is no exercises you can do to pull an eye out and then seeing that Not be true, I was sold. I’ll never go anywhere else for my daughter’s vision needs.

Dr. Chelette was introduced to me by a visit to my work where he gave a presentation. I asked him about my daughter and the fact that the nurse at her school needed an outside optometrist to test her because she couldn't. Mind you, my daughter is 6, non-verbal autistic and doesn't particularly like people in her space (I feel that kid). He reassured me that the tests he performs would test her vision and many other factors without making her feel anxious or agitated. I thought, "Sign me up, doc!" So I took her to see him and it was a great experience! He was very patient with her and took his time examining her. He also recommended different activities to do with her to strengthen different skill sets. If you have a child on the spectrum or they've had bad experiences with other optometrists, I highly recommend Dr. Chelette.

Everything about my experience was above expectation. I've never had someone do such a thorough and thoughtful examination of my vision before. I typically feel like I'm being rushed through appointments like this, but Dr Chelette was fantastic and took the time to make sure I understood everything. I highly recommend Texas Vision Therapy.

I had a head injury and went in for an evaluation as well as an eye exam and I can say Dr. Chelette is one of the most thorough doctors that I have ever met. He is extremely intelligent as he corrected my prescription lenses and gave me great exercises for a great recovery.
— Mark L.

I can't express in words how grateful I am. From the moment I reached out to this place for my daughter, who has Down Syndrome, to receive care, I felt a deep sense of understanding and empathy. The word 'inclusion' isn't just a concept for them; it's a practice ingrained in every aspect of their work. The dedication, kindness, and talent of their team are evident in every interaction. I finally found a place where my daughter is truly understood and supported. Everyone! has to visit this place; you won't regret it. Thank you for everything! Thank you Dr. Chelette! I appreciate your efforts to speak Spanish!
