HIPAA

I hereby authorize First Eye Care to release any information with respect to this claim to my insurance company. I understand that any benefits payable for good and services will be paid to First Eye Care to the extent I have not already paid part or the entire amount of such benefit.

Vision coverage is designed to determine a prescription for glasses and is not equipped to deal with complex medical conditions and/or diagnosis and does not include a detailed examination of the retina. When a medical diagnosis or condition is present (such as high blood pressure, diabetes or eye disease) it may be necessary to file the visit with your major medical carrier and the co-pays for that insurance will apply as well as any non-covered services. These rules are defined by the insurance carriers themselves and not by our office. We make every effort to be on every medical carrier for your convenience and we will file those claims for you. In the event that we do not take your major medical/vision insurance, we will provide you with an itemized receipt so that you may file with your carrier for reimbursement. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

I understand that I am responsible for all goods and services not covered by insurance, which may include any contact lens services on a yearly basis.
