All of our doctors are contracted with the Medicare program and we accept Medicare's allowed amount as payment in full. Medicare will pay 80% of their allowed amount and, if you have a supplemental insurance, they pay the other 20% (unless your deductible isn't met). Please know that Medicare does not cover ROUTINE/WELL eye exams (but most seniors do have medical problems such as cataracts, dry eyes and the like so their eye exams are usually covered). There is a portion of all eye exams that, even when medical, Medicare (and supplement) will not pay as they delineate it as "routine". This is the diagnostic test which results in your glasses prescription. This test, called a refraction, is needed even if you are not looking to update glasses, but, unfortunately, Medicare will not pay that part no matter how much we argue that point. The charge for it is $40. I realize this is a long-winded answer, but I wanted to be clear! Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you for your time and help.
