Please bring a copy of your most recently issued medical insurance card and billing information with you to your appointment. We are able to bill many medical insurance companies directly with the appropriate information, however, this does not guarantee payment. Please refer to your insurance company or plan website for details of what is covered under your plan. Please note that we are not contracted with any vision plans. Our office is a medical specialist office and therefore can only bill to medical insurance plans. We are able to bill routine exams only to those insurance plans that have a routine vision exam included in their medical insurance coverage – not a separate vision plan. If you have a separate vision plan but would still like to be seen for a routine vision exam in our office, we are happy to see you but want to be sure you are aware that there may be a larger out of pocket cost.

Currently We Do Not Accept: We are unable to bill claims to any VISION PLANS, Coordinated Care, Amerigroup or Tricare/VA. Out of network plans may not cover all services or may pay at a lesser rate if the physician is a non-participating provider. In both of these situations, patients may be responsible for the remaining balance. Please note that we also do not bill third party insurance companies, such as automobile insurance and payment would be expected at the time of the visit.
