PROCEDURE FEES INFORMATION:

Those familiar with our previous fees, please note there have been some changes. We have bundled the first and second treatments for ooone fee. There is no additional out of pocket expense to the patient for the second treatment. As before, we will charge for any additional (3rd, 4th, etc., treatment if needed). For more detailed information about fees, please call the office or request a Fee Schedule for more detailed information. In general, the cost of treatment is about the same cost as Custom LASIK vision correction in the US even though the treatment for floaters is much more labor-intensive.

Payment may be made by cash, personal check (from US or Canadian banks), or credit cards (VISA, MC, AMEX, not Discover Card). Debit cards can be used if they carry the VISA or MC logo and will be processed as a credit card.

WILL YOUR MEDICAL INSURANCE COVER IT?

Because the laser treatment procedure is still not widely available, many insurers are not familiar with the expertise, unique skill set, and time required for a successful treatment. They may reimburse reasonably well, very poorly, or not at all. Because of the unpredictable nature of the various insurers, and until that time that this procedure becomes better recognized by the insurance industry, we will collect full payment at the time of service.
