Thank you for choosing Ophthalmology Associates for your eye services.
We are committed to servicing our patients with integrity and providing the
highest quality healthcare.
Please plan on arriving 15 minutes early for your first visit. You will be
required to fill out patient registration, patient history, and review of
systems forms. This information will help your doctor to evaluate your
current health as it relates to your eye care. We update this information
annually to ensure we have accurate records.
Please bring your insurance identification cards and any medications you are
taking. If you have been under the care of another doctor, we may ask your
permission to obtain a copy or transfer some of your records.
Billing and Insurance
Ophthalmology Associates accepts many health insurance plans. Click here for
more information on insurance plans.
Managed care plans have their own requirement to ensure coverage and/or
maximize benefits. Please consult with your insurance to see what referrals
or prior authorizations are required from your regular provider before you
can see a specialist.
If you do not have insurance, we ask that you pay for services at the time
of your visit. If you require medical services and want to discuss the
payment options please call 817-332-2020.
Minors
Permission from a parent or guardian is required before treatment may be
provided to those under the age of 18 or non-emancipated minors. A consent
for treatment of the minor will be obtained prior to services and the parent
and/or legal guardian can direct care.
Referrals and Authorizations
Some medical insurance companies require a referral from a patient's primary
care physician before they will authorize care from a specialist. At other
times to obtain maximum benefits, you may be required to obtain a referral.
Any questions regarding your specific coverage, including referrals and
authorizations, should be directed to your insurance company or your company
benefits administrator.
Most vision insurance will require a prior authorization for service. Our
office will obtain the authorization for you. Co-payment or co-insurance is
due at the time of service. You will want to verify eligibility for a
routine eye exam with your vision insurance prior to scheduling you eye
exam. Some plans limited coverage based on the diagnosis, the provider or
time since last service.
Insurance Plans
Your health insurance contract is between you and your insurance company.
Any questions regarding your specific coverage, including referrals and
authorizations, should be directed to your insurance company or your company
benefits administrator. You are responsible for any amount not covered by
your plan.
Ophthalmology Associates participates with many area insurance plans,
and we will be happy to submit your insurance claims for you. In order for
us to bill accurately, we will need copies of your insurance cards that
include identification numbers, groups numbers, and claim address and phone
number. Please inform us if you change insurance coverage to ensure accurate
billing.
