As the patient I will bear complete financial responsibility for this fee. * Repeated missed appointments may result in dismissal from our practice. Thank you for understanding. Date: Signature: Parent / Guardian signature and relationship: Routine Eye Care Information Certain insurance companies do not pay for routine eye exams. Some patients have Normal Eye Exam or Refractive Error. These are not always a covered benefit. The physicians will always document findings in the chart and disclose to the insurance company if there is a medical condition, which would be covered by insurance. Signature is required below so there is not confusion about who will be responsible for the bill. If your company denies coverage then the patient is responsible.

Florida Eye Center s Refraction Policy What is Refraction? Refraction is the process of determining the eye s focusing ability, or need for corrective glasses and/or contact lenses. Why is it sometimes necessary? Refractions are sometimes necessary depending on the patient s diagnosis and/or complaints presented. Refraction is also necessary to prove to insurance companies the need for cataract surgery. We must prove that your vision cannot be simply improved with eyeglass prescription. As you can see, refraction is an essential part of an exam; however Medicare and most insurance companies DO NOT cover the charge for the refraction. Will I be notified in advance if I need it? Yes, only the doctor or technician is qualified to tell you if this procedure is necessary. You will be given the option to decline this service. It is important to understand that if you decline, we may not be able to determine the cause for the change in your vision. How much is the procedure? Our office policy is to charge $ 60.00 for this procedure in addition to the office visit copay and / or deductible. Payment is due at the time services and rendered. We will bill your insurance according to the individual contracted fee schedules. If your insurance pays the fee we will gladly refund you this prepaid amount once we receive payment from your insurance company. NOTE: This fee is due at the end of your visit; and payable whether or not you receive a written prescription. Sometimes the change in vision is not significant to warrant the cost of purchasing new glasses. However, the fee covers the doctors and technician s time and effort in achieving this process. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: I have read the above information and understand that the refraction is a non-covered service. I accept full financial responsibility for the cost of the service.
