When I went to the eye doctor to get a prescription, they charged me for medical care rather than vision. I want my vision insurance to be billed for it since my medical insurance does not cover it. They are saying that I merely needed glasses, but this was an office visit, and this is how the doctor recorded it. He did inform me that I had dry eyes when I was in there. Does that mean I can expect him to give me a hard time?
The dry eye diagnosis might be why it was billed as medical. Check with your eye doctor’s office and explain you want to use vision insurance. They might be able to adjust the bill for you.
I had a similar situation once. I went in for an eye check-up and ended up with a medical bill instead of using my vision insurance. Turns out, since the doctor found a medical issue (like dry eyes), it got billed as medical care. I’d say make a polite call to your insurance and explain what happened. Sometimes they can sort it out if you give them the full picture. Fingers crossed it works out for you:star2:
