Insurance · Out-of-network benefits

Insurance and out-of-network benefits.

Hope Vision is a fee-for-service practice. We don't bill or submit claims to insurance. If your medical insurance offers out-of-network benefits, we'll give you everything you need to submit a claim yourself.

How it works

Three steps to submit your own claim.

1

Check your benefits

Call your medical insurance company and ask whether you have out-of-network benefits, and what their process is to submit a claim.

2

Pay at your visit

Payment is due at the time of service. We don't bill insurance or submit claims for you.

3

Submit your claim

We provide a statement with CPT and diagnosis codes, and a letter of medical necessity, for you to submit to your insurance.

CPT codes we use

Share these codes with your insurance.

Your insurance company may ask for the CPT codes for the services you plan to receive. Diagnosis codes depend on your evaluation findings and appear on your statement.

Diagnosis codes and coverage.

We can't change diagnosis codes

Your diagnosis codes reflect your evaluation findings. We're unable to change diagnosis codes because of insurance coverage.

We don't imply coverage

We do not imply coverage for any diagnosis code, CPT code or insurance provider. Coverage and reimbursement are decided by your insurance plan.

Please contact your insurance

Your insurance company is the only one who can tell you what your plan covers and how to submit a claim.
