Fees and Insurance
We are committed to helping everyone in need of our services, and providing the best possible care at the most reasonable cost. Our insurance staff can assist you with any questions regarding Medicare, private insurance or managed care plans, or other account information.
We are participating providers for Medicare, Medicaid, and most managed care plans. Many insurance companies and HMO's require that you get written authorization from your Primary Care Physician before any office visit or surgery. Please check with your insurance provider or contact our office for assistance with these issues before your appointment date.
Although the treatment of retinal diseases may involve high technology and complicated services, we attempt to minimize the cost in several ways:
- We perform our surgery on an outpatient basis, thus reducing the length of the hospital stay.
- By doing special testing, laser, and minor surgical procedures in our office, we are able to eliminate "facility fees".
- We have our own quality-assessment program which monitors the effectiveness and results of our surgical and laser procedures. We are constantly updating and reviewing our techniques to ensure the best possible, most cost-effective surgical and medical outcomes.
