Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that you may have questions about our services and payment policies. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions:

Can I use my vision insurance and medical insurance for a combined exam on the same day?

Most major insurance carriers preclude us from billing two different types of insurances on the same day. If this is true for your insurance(s), and you have a medical condition or diagnosis necessitating a medical exam, there are two alternatives. We can schedule your medical exam and vision exam on separate days to utilize both insurances. We can perform a combined medical and vision exam all together in one visit. This will be billed to your medical insurance, and you will be responsible for the medical copayment + refraction (and/or contact lens) fee.

We are just as frustrated by the headache of insurance policies as you are! Please contact your insurance provider if you have any concerns or questions. As always, our staff are happy to assist you if any clarification is needed.
