Insurance

Sonoma Eyeworks® participates with VSP and Original Medicare. To schedule an appointment for an eye examination, please call Sonoma Eyeworks® Optometry at 707-578-2020

Financial Policy

Payment for services is due at the time of examination, including any co-payments and/or materials. We are in-network for VSP (Vision Service Plan) and Original Medicare. Please let us know all of your insurance information when you secure your appointment. If you have Original Medicare with a supplementary plan, we must scan your insurance cards at the time of your appointment. If you have an HMO type Medicare plan or Kaiser, you will be responsible for any fees associated with your visit. We are unable to bill HMO Medicare plans.

We will provide you with a receipt(s) for your exam and materials and you can submit the claim to your insurance company. You may or may not be reimbursed for the out-of-pocket costs associated with your visit. Please inquire with your insurance if they have an out-of-network fee schedule. If not, you would be responsible for the charges associated with the visit in full. Most medical plans do not cover routine eye examinations and some services may be determined to be non-covered or medically unnecessary.

Appointment Request – What To Expect

Call our office for an appointment at 707-578-2020. Examinations are available Monday through Friday. Typically, we are scheduled 2 months in advance and accept the following vision insurance plans: VSP and Original Medicare.

Prior to seeing our Doctors, a visual field test will check for abnormal blind spots, which may be a sign of glaucoma and retinal or neurological disease.

If you have elected Optos retinal photography instead of traditional dilation, this test will occur after the visual field testing. The eye examination is not painful. The health of your eyes and the quality of your vision will be evaluated.

If you require glasses, our expert staff will help you with your frame and lens selection. If contact lenses are an option, we will help you learn how to insert and remove the lenses, and you will return to the office for an evaluation of your cornea and to check your vision. It is important to wear the contacts at least four hours prior to your appointment.

In some cases, we can have your new glasses ready the same day. We have a laboratory on-site and edge single-vision lenses in-house. Although, most insurance plans require their laboratory to edge the lenses.
