STLZ01 Patient Registration Packet

Welcome to the St Lucie Eye Family!

Thank you for entrusting us with your eye care, we look forward to meeting you!

Before arriving for your appointment, please review and complete the following:

New Patient Information
Medical History
Insurance Authorization
Financial Policy
No-Show Policy
HIPPA Privacy Form
Additionally, please bring current Eyeglasses, Photo ID, and Insurance Cards to your appointment.

You should allow about 2 hours for your initial visit, which will include pupil dilation. Dilation drops frequently blur vision for up to 6 hours. You may experience sensitivity to light and difficulty driving or reading as the drops wear off. Bring sunglasses to protect your eyes and consider having a driver if you are particularly sensitive.

We understand that situations may arise that interfere with your scheduled appointment time. We are happy to help you reschedule when needed. If canceling or rescheduling your appointment, kindly give at least 24 hours notice. Failure to do so may result in a $25 charge.

Should you have any questions about your appointment or our services, please call Estefani Infante, Scheduling Manager (772) 461-2020. We look forward to seeing you soon!

**Special Precautions
At this time, we no longer require masks for patients or staff. If you prefer staff wear a mask during your examination, please notify the front desk and we will be happy to accommodate your request.

PATIENT FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
INSURANCE ASSIGNMENT AUTHORIZATION

I understand that I am financially responsible for all co-pays, deductibles, and charges not covered by insurance*. I agree to pay for these charges in full at the time of service unless other arrangements have been made in advance with St Lucie Eye.

I authorize the release of medical information to third-party payers in order to process claims for payment. I authorize payment directly to St Lucie Eye for services rendered. This authorization is effective immediately.

The insurance information I have provided is current and accurate.

*Non-covered services may include but are not limited to: contact lens exams, glasses, aesthetic items, medications including eye drops, and refraction testing.

Refraction is a non-covered service under Medicare and most medical insurance companies. The $40 refraction fee is charged to the patient once per year.
Contact lens exams, including prescription changes are also non-covered services.

I have read the Patient Financial Responsibility and Insurance Authorization and understand that I am financially responsible for non-covered services, insurance co-pays, and deductibles.
