FEES AND PAYMENTS

We make every effort to keep down the cost of medical care.  You can help by paying upon completion of each office visit.  Payment may be made by cash, check or Visa/Mastercard.  Other arrangements can be made depending on special circumstances.  

Fee Schedule 
Dr. Eldridge is a Medicare Participating Physician.  We accept assignment for all services provided to Medicare patients.  Please remember that Medicare does not pay for normal eye examinations or for the refraction part of your eye examination.  We will file your Medicare claim and Medicare will pay us 80% of the approved charge, after subtracting any part of the yearly deductible you have not met.  After Medicare pays us, the claim is usually submitted to your secondary insurance to collect the remaining 20% of the approved charge.  We will then bill you for the part of the yearly deductible you may have not yet met and for any coinsurance not paid.  You will also be charged for the refraction part of the examination, which Medicare does not cover. 

Insurance and Insurance Forms
Please pay any copay that your insurance requires at the time of your visit.  It is your responsibility to pay any copayment, deductible amount, coinsurance or any other balance not paid for by your insurance company.
