Insurance Information

Effective March 1, 2023

There are two parts to your eye examination, which are billed separately.

• The first charge includes the fee for the doctor to evaluate the health of your eyes. This charge is billable to your insurance company, and also to Medicare.
• The second (vision) portion of your exam is called a “refraction,” which is a test performed to determine the best corrective lenses to be prescribed for each eye.

Although a refraction is a very important vision test, it is considered a non-medical procedure. Medicare and most insurance plans do not pay for this service, the fee of which is now $65.00, effective March 1, 2023.

We request that payment for this service be made at the time of your visit. Thank you.
