Patient Payment Policy
Payments at time of services by cash, check, Visa/MasterCard/Discover are expected. Insurance patients are expected to pay their co pays on day of service. IF any charges are returned by insurance at a later date a monthly statement will be sent to you for collection.
We do accept several insurance plans. We request that you bring along all appropriate information.
We understand there are occasions for a delay with payments. However, we send statement reminders monthly and expect all patients to clear up any billing or insurance balances within 60 days of the date of service.
A monthly 1.5% interest fee will be charged on any account retaining a balance more than 60 days from the date of service/receipt of goods.
If an account balance is over 90 days and we are forced to send the account to collections then you as the patient/customer will also be responsible for any new charges being incurred by the Doctor for hiring these services and you may also be removed from our future patient list.
A charge of $25.00 will be added for any returned check.
I request that payment of my insurance benefits be made to me or on my behalf to Dr. Monika Groff for any services rendered.
I authorize any holder of medical information about me to release to the health care financing administration and its agents any information needed to determine these benefits payable for related services.
Frames and Lenses are nonrefundable due to the custom nature of manufacturing. You have 30 days to request changes due to non-adjustment to prescription.
We are not responsible for breakage of frames and lenses not purchased here or older than 1 year from purchase. All frames have a strict manufacturerâs warranty good for the first year. Regular wear and tear or destruction is not covered.
Contact lenses must be paid in full at time of ordering and are non-refundable. Please note the contact lens fitting fee covers contact lens service (3 sets of trial lenses and 2 week check-ups) for a maximum of 3 months from date of FITTING. Additional fees will be charged for service that exceeds this time limit.
Contact Lens Evaluation Fee Contact lenses must be paid in full at time of ordering and are non-refundable. Please note the contact lens fitting fee covers contact lens service (3 sets of trial lenses and 2 week check-ups) for a maximum of 2 months from date of FITTING. Additional fees will be charged for service that exceeds this time limit.
According to the FDA, all contact lenses are considered a MEDICAL DEVICE, since they are inserted directly into your eyes. Therefore, every year, if you want to purchase contacts or get a prescription for them, even if your prescription does not change, you must get a new evaluation for eye health purposes. This fee is separate from your regular exam fee that includes your eyeglass prescription and is inclusive of all contact lens related follow up visits within (6) months. Depending on the complexity of your prescription, the type of contact lens therapy, and your insurance coverage if applicable, this non-refundable fee can range from $75 and up.
*I understand and agree to the office policy as listed.
