  • Contact Lens Patients

    There is a separate fee for contact lens evaluation each year.  A contact lens evaluation is required each year to write a prescription for contact lenses.  This service is not covered by insurance.  You will be required to pay at time of service.

  • Vision vs. Medical Insurance

    Many people have vision coverage and medical coverage.  They are very different in the terms of the services they cover.  Vision coverage (Eyemed, VSP, Davis, etc.) are designed to determine the patient’s eyeglass prescription.  It is not meant to deal with medical conditions or diagnoses.  It does allow for screenings but once a condition has been determined all care then gets submitted to your medical insurance.  When a medical condition (Diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, floaters, etc.) is present, it is necessary to submit the visit to the major medical insurance (Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, etc.)  The copays for that insurance will apply, as well as any deductibles, co-insurances and non-covered fees.  These rules are set forth by the insurance companies and our office is obligated to follow.

  • OCT Screening (Ocular Ultrasound)

     

    Ocular Coherence Tomography ( OCT ) captures detailed images below the surface or your retina.  OCT can assist us in early detection of glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetes and optic nerve disease. It will also serve as a baseline as we follow your health in subsequent years. The scan is painless and easier than having a picture taken.

    We recommend that our patients receive this test as part of their comprehensive eye health exam.  The fee for this procedure is $39.00 and not covered by your insurance.

    If there is a medical reason for the test, your medical insurance will be billed and a more detailed scan will be performed.  In most cases, the doctor will review your results with you on the same day of your test.

  • In September 2024, a law was passed that requires a signature from the patient when they receive a copy of the glasses/contact lens prescription. In order to comply,  we will be handing you your finalized script at the end of the exam and asking that you initial a running list in the office.

    Replacement prescriptions, written at later date, will be provided at a fee of $10.
