Insurance

The following is a list of the insurance plans used most frequently by patiens at Eyecare.Healthcare. Some of these plans require that you obtain a written or electronic referal from your primary care physician for a ” specialist” visit to be covered. If your plan requires a referral you must obtain it prior to your visit.

Most insurance plans will require that you pay either a co-pay or deductible towards your visit. Some vision plans provide for basic eyeglasses and allow patients to upgrade to premium products. other vision plans provide a discount off our usual and customary fees for eyeglasses and/or contact lenses.

All payments for co-pays, deductibles, discounted material fees and udgrade fee must be made at the time of the initial service. We will submit insurance claims with all remaining companies. Sometimes insurance plans require that a percentage of the remaining allowable fees must be padi by the patient. Patients will be billed for outstanding balances after the claim has been processed.
