Billing and Payments

Billing and Payments

  • As a courtesy we will submit services to your insurance. Please note that is not a guarantee of benefits and may become your responsibility. We will verify coverage prior to your appointment but recommend you contact your insurance carriers as well to discuss coverage and benefits.
  • All co-payments and balances not paid by insurances are due at time of service. If you are responsible for deductible / coinsurance amounts we will bill you after it is applied by your insurance and payment is expected within 30 days of statement.

Medical Insurance vs. Vision Insurance (including discount plans)

  • Please note that co-pay amount / patient responsibilities may differ from your Vision Plan co-pay if you have a medical condition that will need to be billed to your medical insurance.
  • We will provide the professional standard of care for each individual patient and will bill the appropriate insurance company.
  • Medical insurance vs. Vision insurance can be confusing and is not always clear. Medical insurance is for situations where there is a medical sign, medical symptom, or ongoing care for a medical condition. Vision insurance is used strictly for “routine vision”.
