Vision Associates

Called for an appt. last week, told the operator I was coming in for a contact exam. She asks for all my insurance info., but never told me I wasn’t going to be able to use it. I go to my appt. Sat., check in, fill out all their paperwork, the receptionist also fails to tell me they don’t accept insurance for contact exams. Sitting in the waiting room, I notice a sign stating no contact exams are covered. I approach the window, inquire about the sign, was told it was going to cost me $ 100 for the exam. I said my insurance covers exams. She says no insurance covers contact exams, «it’s a new thing now.» I said I’m all set I’ll go somewhere else, I’ve never paid for an exam. 10 minutes later I walk into Dr.‘s office @ Sears Optical, they take me right in with no appt., my exam was covered, I ordered 2 boxes of lenses, left with 2 sample pairs, & it cost me $ 5.

Been going here for years. Nice doctors. Okay choices for frames. While I wish there were more to choose from I’m glad it’s not too much so I don’t have trouble picking something out. Decent parking.
