Eye Dilation and Transportation
Please remember it is necessary to dilate your pupils with eye drops to have a retinal evaluation. Pupillary dilation makes your vision blurry and your eyes more sensitive to light for several hours. If you are not using public transportation, we recommend considering arranging for someone to drive you home. If you need help with transportation, please contact our office for assistance.

Fees
We will verify the specific requirements in your insurance contract regarding deductibles, payments, copayments, and the terms regarding referral numbers, number of allowable visits to specialist, and in-office procedures. If your insurance requires you to pay a co-pay, then you must pay this co-pay at the time of your appointment. Your visit or treatment may be rescheduled if prior authorization from your primary care physician is required. Payment of unauthorized services is then your responsibility. Fees not covered by your insurance company due to unmet deductibles are due as you leave the office. If this should be the case, we offer payment plans to ensure your treatment does not go unfinished. If you have a question on whether we accept your insurance, please call our office at (817)617-7678.
Please email the office with your insurance information as soon as you scheduled your appointment. This allows us to verify your benefits and to file with your insurance claims correctly.
