Collecting at the time of service ensures transparency, reduces administrative costs, and helps prevent unexpected bills later on.

We may collect co-pays, unmet deductibles, refraction fees (used to determine your eyeglass prescription), and any past due balances.

We use real-time eligibility tools to help verify your benefits. If there’s a discrepancy, we’ll discuss it with you and provide options, including refunds if overpayments occur.

We’re happy to work with you. You may be able to pay a portion today and arrange a monthly payment plan.

Keeping a card on file simplifies the billing process and ensures you only pay what you owe—no more, no less. All card data is encrypted and stored securely through a third-party vendor.
