I am interested in contacts, how do I go about that?
Contact lens exams are a separate portion of your eye exam. The contact lens exam is subjected to a seperate fee that is typically not covered by insurance. If you have never worn contact lenses before, an appointment called an I&R which stands for “Insertion and Removal” can be scheduled after your routine eye exam if Dr. Simmons deems you a candidate for contact lenses.
How is my vision insurance different from my medical insurance?
Your medical insurance is for medical visits done in the office or any medical testing. Occasionally your medical insurance may cover up to 1 routine eye examination a year of which you can call them to verify. Your vision insurance is for your routine eye exams and materials such as glasses or contact lenses. If you have further questions regarding your coverage, please call your insurance provider.
