When provided the necessary insurance information prior to an appointment, the staff of Wind City Eye Care makes every attempt to verify patient's benefits. In addition, the staff will gladly file insurance claims on behalf of the patient. The insurance carrier will review the claim and accept or deny coverage as they deem appropriate. Should the insurance company deny coverage, it is the patient's responsibility to pay any and all of the balance to Wind City Eye Care. To be better prepared, patients should attempt to know their coverage including deductibles, co-pays and noncovered services.

The staff of Wind City Eye Care can give you a general idea of what may or may not be covered by your insurance plan before seeing the doctor. However, we cannot always know for certain what services will be provided by the doctor before the examination.

Whether a visit will be filed with a vision carrier or medical carrier is dependent on several factors including but not limited to patient's reason for visit, type of exam performed, and diagnoses. Any diagnosis other than a routine diagnosis will result in a medical claim submittal. At times, patients may be able to use both medical and vision benefits to maximize patients' benefits.
