Billing Information
Payment for Services
Payment for all services is the responsibility of the patient. Payment for office visits is expected at the time of your visit when service is provided. As a patient, you will be given an itemized receipt that may be attached to any form your insurance company requires. Payments may be made in cash, check, or by Visa. MasterCard, or Discover in our medical offices or optical shops.
Insurance
Eye Associates of Lancaster participates in many major health care plans. In such cases, we will submit your charges directly to them. Patients are responsible for their copayments and any non-covered services at the time of their appointment.
Please read your insurance plan carefully, since the amounts paid for office visits and procedures may vary widely from one plan to another. According to our office policy, concerns about any insurance reimbursement should be discussed between you and your insurance company.
To our Medicare patients: Our office will submit the necessary information to Medicare and we will accept Medicare assignment. Medicare will pay 80% of the approved bill. The remaining 20% and any non-covered services will be the responsibility of you or your private insurance company.
To our Blue Shield patients: Our office will submit the necessary information to Pennsylvania Blue Shield for those patients whose coverage includes the service provided. If your Blue Shield plan does not over office visits, you will need to submit a claim to your Major Medical Plan.
Our billing department is available to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have about costs. If you should experience financial difficulties, please contact our Patient Accounts Manager, who will work with you to customize a payment schedule.
