Four easy ways to pay your bill:
Please note, we no longer accept CASH at any of our locations.
Insurance companies usually categorize visits to your eye doctor as either “routine” or “medical.” The type of eye exam you have is determined by your chief complaint as well as your diagnosis. Most medical insurance plans do not pay for “routine vision” services, and most vision plans do not pay for “medical” problems.
When you schedule your appointment, please let us know the reason for your visit, and what insurance plans you have. We will help you determine which plans may be appropriate for your visit.
It is the responsibility of the patient to know his or her benefits. Your insurance company determines what they will or will not cover. See insurance plans accepted by Jervey Eye Group.
We rely on the accuracy of the information you provide and information from your insurance company representative to make an initial determination of coverage. Subsequent decisions made by your insurance company are outside of our control. We do expect you to make prompt payment for any portion which the insurance company will not be responsible.
Generally, yes. FSA funds can pay for qualified healthcare expenses such as your exams, and even contact lenses or eye surgery. However, you should check for any exceptions in your employer’s FSA plan.
Refraction is the part of the eye exam by which we determine if you can be helped in any way with a new glasses prescription. It is also how we determine the best possible visual acuity and function of your eye, which is essential medical information used to diagnose various eye diseases and conditions. It is NOT a covered service by Medicare and many other insurance carriers.
Our refraction fee is $46.00, and will be collected at the time of service. If you have a separate vision plan that covers routine or annual eye examinations and/or glasses, please let us know. Your vision plan may pay for these fees that are not covered by your medical plan. Consult your schedule of benefits or exclusions section for more information.
Generally, if a person is going to purchase a pair of glasses, an up-to-date prescription is preferable. Very few vision providers will recommend that a person hold a prescription for more than a year without having it filled. We will give a patient a copy of a glasses prescription at any time when requested. We will, however, include the actual date that your vision was measured. It is then at the discretion of the optical practice whether they will fill a prescription that is older than a year.
Before you place a lens order, you can visit a Jervey Eye Group location to browse our available eyewear frames from designer brands or ask about specialty glasses.
You can also use your device’s camera to virtually try on frames. Your data is not stored.
When your glasses are ordered, you can expect it to take seven to fourteen business days for the eyewear to be manufactured and shipped. The process takes this long to avoid errors from rush jobs that can happen when you go to an eye doctor that offers you glasses the same day as the exam.
Each of our opticians’ offices in the Upstate provide eyewear adjustments and repairs. Find the phone number of the optical shop nearest to you on our website.
All patients who wear contact lenses are required to have a yearly eye examination to check eye health, since contacts fit directly on the eyeball. Each provider will discuss a plan for the patient during the examination.
The costs of cataract surgery will vary depending on your insurance provider as well as the intraocular lens used.
For patients without insurance, the average cost for cataract surgery can range from $3500-$7000 per eye. Learn more about cataract surgery and our eye surgery center in Greenville, SC.
Oculoplastics is a subspecialty of ophthalmology that deals with the orbit (eye socket), eyelids and tear ducts. This area affects the appearance of the face and can affect vision. Oculoplastic surgery includes cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Learn more about oculoplastic surgery on the eyelid, face, orbit, and tear drain system.
The longevity of Botox treatments can vary from person to person but on average, the effects of Botox will last for three to four months. Learn more about Botox and our non-surgical solutions.
The effects of Botox on wrinkles and fine lines are visible within a few days. The full effect of Botox can take up to 10 days. Learn more about non-surgical Botox treatments for the eyes.
Our modern, efficient facilities include four offices in Greenville, Simpsonville and Easley. Each offers one-stop convenience for examinations, eyewear selection, purchase, and fitting.
