Eyemed is taking independents and shaking 'em up.
I work for small business owner who has three retails and a lab- not doctor owned. Long ago, we got grandfathered in as a lab though we are not Essilux owned.
Now, as it turns out, we are being targeted big time. They have flagged us and apparently there is someone watching what we submit very closely.
The original discrepancy was that some add-on, scratch coat I believe, was charged for one patient and not another when they had purchased the same product. Personally, I think it's ridiculous that they should have a say in when we do or do not charge for such things- but hey, that's not what this is about.
A co-worker just submitted an Eyemed claim for a Hoya lens with Clearmax XC coating, which is not listed on any tier. 10 minutes later, we received a call that we had submitted wrong and that that was a tier 3 AR. Not true. The Eyemed representative was corrected and did admit fault and apologized after finding that in fact Clearmax XC is not listed and therefore is a set 20% off.
The point is- they are watching closer than ever.
