I bill the following insurances for routine eye examinations.: Please verify with your insurance that you have this benefit available. Many health insurers subcontract routine eye exams out to secondary vision insurance companies such as Eyemed, Davis Vision, or VSP. (They don’t always tell you this!) Please note: I cannot bill any Medicaid or Apple Health Plans including Community Health Plan of WA, Molina, and United Health Care Community Plan. Special Note: 6-1-24- Although I have no plans to retire at this time I will be transitioning away from taking most routine vision insurance plans over the next year. At that time you will need to pay for your routine eye exam at the time of service. Most plans reimburse for out of network providers. I do plan to continue to accept medical insurance for specific medical eye problems although some plans require a referral from your primary care provider. All HMO plans require a referral.

Note: If your insurance provider is not listed on this page, full payment is due at the time of service. I accept Visa, Master Card, Discover, American Express, Checks, or Cash. I can give a reimbursement form to you for any insurance that I cannot bill. Check with your insurance to find out what they will reimburse if you see an out of network provider.
