New Patient Registration

Completing registration forms before arrival helps the visit start on time and keeps the focus on your care.

Bring the following to your appointment:

Photo ID
Vision and medical insurance cards, if applicable
Current glasses and contact lenses, if you wear them
A list of medications and any known allergies
Any relevant eye records or surgical history, if available

If you prefer to complete forms in the office, arrive a few minutes early so the team can assist.

Insurance and Billing Basics

Insurance can feel confusing because eye care includes both routine vision services and medical evaluation when symptoms or disease monitoring are involved.

Vision plans often cover routine eye exams, refractions, and eyewear benefits. Medical plans may apply when you visit for symptoms, medical findings, or ongoing management of eye health conditions.

Coverage depends on your plan and the services provided. The team can verify benefits and explain how your plan applies before your visit whenever possible.

If you have questions about copays, deductibles, or what applies to eyewear or contact lenses, ask before the appointment or at check-in. A clear explanation reduces surprises later.

If the optometrist needs additional detail, diagnostic testing may support evaluation and long-term monitoring.
