Ok, how about a +8.00 in a 2 year old in a size 43 frame with a 48 pd. I wanted to go high index but the doctor I work for says no. I see that pretty much any lens in this rx will pass the drop ball...

The fact is...they are doctors and deserve the title and the respect. Shame on those of you who say otherwise.
Orange is right, the majority of patients think that any visual problem they are having will be fixed with glasses. We all know this isn't true. That's why one cannot do JUST a refraction. That's a...
The person doing the billing made a mistake-simple as that. You need to call and they will straighten it out. It's happened to me many times.
As far as billing refractions, the reason they get...
We know it's old, ar/girl was wondering if the person who started the thread was still working there?
I do not miss retail at all.

if you want a frame outside "the box," they have to order the frames themselves, which take extra long. if we send in our own frame, they will reimburse us $0 for that frame....
You must have had a bad experience with an Od. But to brand them all because of your experience is ignorrant.
Exactly!!!
So much for keeping it nice huh. Going right to bashing the Optometrists. Gee wiz. I have worked for an Optometrist for almost 8 years now in private practice and 2 before that with a few others. I...
Is he planning on getting his other eye done anytime soon?
Sell new one. The days of "lifetime warranty" are long over.
Patients have a frame allowance, which 99 times out of ten it's 50.00. You subtract the 50.00 from your frame wholesale and that is what the pateint pays. The patient of course pays all copays and...
There is no time limit on glasses. Just like braheem said.
In some ways I agree, and in others I don't. I wear scrubs in my office. For a couple of reasons. First, I don't just sell glasses, I do everything else in our office, including making the glasses,...
The only thing I want to know is, are the checks made out to the specific employees? If so, how are they getting cashed by the boss? Because I know my labs, even though they direct any programs to...
So, if they were signed up under their personal names, why aren't the checks made out to them directly? If that is what the lab says,then ask them why they are sending them to the doc and not the...
Medicare will not pay unless it's after cataract surgery, however if it is, then use the kx modifier and they will pay(most of the time). Also, as above, you have to use the v43.1 code. Good luck.
I would've reordered a different high Index lens because that mid index isn't going to be thin at all unless he purchased a tiny frame. I tint 1.67 all the time. Only takes about 20 minutes.
Chip, although I believe you to be very intelligent, I sometimes think you are in the wrong field. You don't have a lot of positive things to say on the subject.
This is how it is supposed to work here. When I started out, I apprenticed under a Licensed Optician for 2 years before getting my own. So, if I was to work dipensing without my License Optician,...
Is Florida a Licensed state?
I know here in this state I'm responsible for any apprentices listed on my license, so anytime the apprentices are working it's my responsibility to be there with them. If I'm not and they are caught...
Are those employees apprenticed? Are they apprenticed under you? If so, yes, you are responsible. I think you did the right thing. If they're willing to to do that, imagine what else they will do....
I have worked for both and currently work Independent. I wouldn't go back to a chain again. The respect that I receive vs what I did at a chain if amazing. My patients respect me, believe in me,...
