Insurance

At Total Eye Care Surgery Center, we bill primary and secondary insurances. Before every patients procedure, we will verify insurances on file for deductibles, co-insurances, co-pays, and authorizations. We will notify you of an amounts owed in advance. It is your responsibility to know and understand what your insurance will cover. Your insurance policy is an agreement between you and your insurance company. Therefore all charges are ultimately your responsibility regardless of your insurance status. Please make sure we have your most current insurance cards on file.

If you have an insurance company that we are not contracted with, you may have out of network benefits that allows you to have surgery at our facility. Therefore we will bill your insurance, but your out of pocket expense will be higher, than if you had surgery at an in network facility.

Insurances we contract with: Medicare, BCBS, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, VA, Wellmed
