  • Refraction Policy
    During your visit, a refraction may be performed to determine your need for glasses or to evaluate if any further visual improvement can be achieved. This is a necessary and essential portion of your eye exam and in some cases, it is the sole reason for the appointment. Refractions can help distinguish problems caused by poor focus (a need for glasses) versus problems caused by eye disease. However, the refraction is considered a NON-COVERED service by most medical insurance companies including Medicare regardless of why the doctor performs the test. Please be aware it is the responsibility of the patient to pay the refraction fee of $50.00 (if the prescription is needed) in addition to your copay. If this fee is not paid at the time of your visit, then we will charge a $65.00 fee if the claim is submitted and your insurance plan does not cover the refraction fee.


    I have read the above policies and understand my financial responsibility and that the refraction is a noncovered service. I accept full responsibility for the cost of all services and agree to pay any additional fees that are not covered by my insurance contract.

  • Retinal Screening

    A retinal screening is an integral part of a thorough comprehensive eye examination. This allows early detection of pathology such as diseases of the optic nerve, disease of the retina, vascular changes, retinal tumors, etc. This is usually done through a dilated pupil. New technology now allows an image of the retina to be captured through an undilated pupil with the Optos camera. It only takes 1-2 minutes to capture the images which will be available for review during your exam and in the future. Please note that we still ask patients with specific symptoms or diagnoses to dilate, in order to view the retina beyond the 80% captured with the Optos (ie. Diabetic Eye Exam, Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, Flashes & Floaters, Cataract PreOps).

    Please understand that this service is not covered under insurance as a screening examination. Our office charges a $40.00 fee at the time of your visit for the Optos Fundus Photography. If the doctor request this image due to specific diagnosis, then we will bill insurance and not collect the fee at the time of your visit until we receive notice of coverage from your insurance.
