Surgery Patients
Our surgery counselor will explain all special instructions and needs at the time of scheduling surgery.

Medicare regulations require all surgery patients to have a current physical examination prior to surgery. You may use your own medical doctor, or if necessary, we can recommend a conveniently located physician who accepts Medicare assignment. Please ask for assistance when you schedule your surgical appointment.

Our equipment and methods are on the leading edge of tomorrow's ophthalmic technology. We perform complete exams including diagnostic tests, medical and laser treatments, and eye surgery. In some cases, additional special tests may be necessary to evaluate your entire visual system and to determine the most specialized treatment plan for your individual care.

We work with you to make the best possible eye care affordable
At Ohio Eyecare Specialists, treatment is highly specialized and uses the most sophisticated tests available today. Although cost is associated with the sophistication of current technology, our primary concern is to provide our patients with the best possible ophthalmic care at a cost that will not e a burden. We recognize that our patient's financial situations vary as much as their health care needs. We will make every effort to work with each patient on a case-by-case basis regarding cost. If at any time you have questions regarding costs - especially prior to special testing - our financial representative will gladly review potential costs and payment policies.

Payment in full or proof of insurance is expected at the time services are received. We accept personal checks, cash, Master Card, VISA, Discover, & American Express.

We accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most other major medical insurance. If you are unsure whether we are a provider for your insurance, please consult your provider book, or call your benefits coordinator. Some insurance agencies require a referral from your primary care physician. This is the sole responsibility of the patient, failure to obtain the referral may result in nonpayment of your services, by your insurance carrier. If you have not obtained your referral at the time of your appointment, we will have to reschedule at a later date.
Regardless of insurance coverage, however, the patient or legal guardian is ultimately responsible for the financial liability of services rendered. Please bring all insurance information with you on the day of your visits.
