I'm not sure if OD's on their sites have discussed this but what would happen if we had a single payer system where routine eye exams were covered at a set rate under a single payer system?
Wouldn't that pull the rug out from under insurances combining eyeglass benefits to exams?
To my way of thinking an OD would now be free to create matching eyeglass benefits with less (no) insurance eyewear paperwork and greater profit if the insurance company is now out of the picture.
What's wrong with this picture from an OD's point of view?
