How we may use and disclose your health information:
We use health information about you for treatment, to get paid for treatment, for administrative purposes, and to evaluate the quality of care that you receive. For example, your health information may be shared with other providers to whom you are referred. Information may be shared by paper, mail, electronic mail, fax or other methods. We may use or disclose your health information without your authorization for several reasons. If you sign an authorization to disclose information, you can later revoke it to stop any further disclosures
How we may use and disclose your contact information: We use your phone numbers, addresses, and electronic mail addresses in order to contact you regarding your appointments, insurance information, any referrals to doctors for additional testing, contact lens orders and account receivables. We do not sell your personal contact information to third party marketers.
Your rights: In most cases, you have the right to look at or get a copy of your health information that we use to make decisions about you. We limit disclosures to family members, other relatives, caregivers, or close personal friends who may or may not be involved in your care that are listed at the bottom of this form. If they are not listed, you will need to sign an authorization form in order for us to disclose your personal health information to them. If you request copies, we may charge you a cost-based fee. You also have the right to request a list of certain types of disclosures of your information that we have made. If you believe that your health information is incorrect or information is missing, you have the right to request that we correct the existing information or add the missing information.
Our legal duty: We are required by law to protect the privacy of your health information, provide this notice about our privacy practices, follow the privacy practices that are described in this notice, and seek your acknowledgement of receipt of this notice. We may change our privacy policies any time. Before we make a significant change in our policies, we will change our notice. The notice will be prominently displayed in our office.

OFFICE POLICY
Our office attempts to verify patient's insurance benefits prior to their appointment. Any copay, deductible, or co-insurance is due at the time of service. We will give you the best estimate possible based off of your benefits quoted. Sometimes benefits are misquoted by your insurance carrier; however we must collect based off their explanation. Once your insurance carrier has finalized your claim, we will make any necessary adjustments to your account. Outstanding balances are due in full upon receipt of statement.
Payment is expected as services are rendered and all services are non- refundable. Should a payment be returned for any reason, including but not limited to, insufficient funds, stopped payment, or closed account, the patient will be liable for the original amount plus any associated NSF fees. Our current NSF fee is $25.00.
There will be no fee for progress visits on glasses or contact lens prescriptions within 90 days of the initial comprehensive exam. After 90 days the usual and customary fees will apply.
