Plan Your Visit

We are excited you have chosen Elevate Eye Care for your eye care needs. Helping patients is the core of our mission and we are happy to be caring for you or your family member.

To help us facilitate check-in, there are important items you will need to bring to your appointment. These include:

Medical and vision insurance cards
Driver’s license or other photo identification (e.g. military or state ID)
Payment for any non-covered services such as a refraction fee, Optos retinal imaging, or a contact lens fitting fee (these will be due either at check-in or when you check out)

Referral or authorization (required by HMO or managed care programs)
Medical records regarding any previous care you have received related to your current eye problem
Office visit copayment (we accept cash, checks, and major credit cards) which will be due at check in

During your eye examination, a refraction will likely be performed to determine the amount of prescription you need for eyeglasses or contacts. Medicare and most other medical insurances will not cover the refraction portion of your eye exam as they consider it a non-covered service. If it is non-covered, there will be a fee of $40 collected at the end of your visit.

Please note that if you are presenting for a comprehensive eye exam, your doctor will need to thoroughly evaluate the health of your eyes. To do this, you will be given the option between having your eyes dilated or Optos retinal imaging. If Optos is non-covered, there will be a fee of $39 collected at the end of your appointment.

After your appointment, you will check out. Please be prepared to pay any known outstanding fees (such as a refractive fee, Optos imaging, or a contact lens fitting fee) and schedule your next appointment if one is recommended. Please follow any directions your doctor provided for ongoing care of your eyes. If you are in the market for new glasses, our outstanding optician is here to help you look your best.

We appreciate you choosing Elevate Eye Care for your eye care needs. If you have any questions related to your visit, please contact us at 208-210-4832. We are happy to help you!
