4-1-2024:

At This time and in the future (except for special circumstances )I will only be seeing previous patients and their family members.

I can only accept the following insurances until the date shown. I am transitioning away from being in network on all routine vision insurance plans. This process should be complete by the end of 2025.  When those changes happens with each individual insurance you will need to pay for your visit at the time of service. Most plans reimburse partially for out of network providers. I will provide a receipt to turn in to your insurance. Please check with your Vision Insurance(Not Your Medical Insurance) to find out what they will reimburse for an out of network provider. Watch this page for updates for when these changes will take place on your specific vision insurance.

Note: If you are not using insurance for your exam 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.
