Insurance
We are contracted with most major insurance carriers. Your health insurance policy is an agreement between you and your insurance company. Payment of benefits is subject to a member’s eligibility on the date service was rendered and to any other contractual provisions of your employer’s plan. Please check with our in-house billing department to verify that the plan you have is one we accept. Remember, your insurance carrier makes the decisions as to what is covered and what will not be covered. Please be prepared to provide our front desk with the following information so that we may submit your claims accurately.
Remember to Bring Your:
- Current Insurance Cards
- Driver’s License
- Primary Care Referral (if required by your insurance)
Referrals
Seidenberg Protzko Eye Associates is considered a specialty practice with some insurance carriers. Therefore, if your insurance requires a primary care referral to see a specialist, you are required to contact your primary care provider prior to your appointment and present your referral at the time of your appointment.
Fees and Payments
