I am able to bill the following insurances for routine eye examinations and contacts if covered: Please verify with your insurance that you have this benefit available. Many health insurers subcontract routine eye exams out to secondary vision insurance companies such as Eyemed, Davis Vision, or VSP. (They don't always explain this) I also bill medical insurance for medical eye problems. Some medical insurance requires a referral from your primary care doctor before you can see me. Please check with your insurance if you are not sure.

Note: I am not a Vision Service Plan (VSP) provider. Unfortunately Vision Service Plan will only allow providers that sell glasses to be in their network.  Please contact VSP to find out if you can be reimbursed for seeing an out of network provider.  With VSP I must collect full payment at the time of the exam. I will gladly bill VSP for you to get reimbursement if it is allowed by your plan. They usually reimburse for about half of my exam fee. 

Medicare does not pay for routine eye examinations or refractions. They do pay for medical eye visits at 80% after your yearly deductable has been met.


If your insurance provider is not listed on this page full payment is due at the time of service. I accept Visa, Master Card, Discover, American Express, Checks, or Cash.

I can give a reimbursement form to you for any insurance that I cannot bill. Check with your insurance to find out what they will reimburse if you see an out of network provider.

Thanks
