Unlike dentists, optometrists and opticians typically do not bill insurance companies directly. This means that you need pay for everything upfront, then fill out the claim form and attach the appropriate receipts, prescriptions, etc. and mail to the insurance company. They will then mail you a cheque or make a direct deposit if everything checks out. In this case, services from any licensed optometrist should be covered, but make sure you read the policy very carefully. I suggest calling a few and shopping around. You might be surprised at how much their fees vary.
