I am a Ohio Optician owned practice with out a eye doctor on premises. Eye med sent a letter of rejection to my practice due to it not being full service yet
another optician owned practice with out a eye doctor on premises is on the Eye med network 2 miles from me. Not that I believe eyemed or lux is God but everything helps. Does any one have any advice?

Dear Optical Options,
There only a few alternatives for you. In reference to the colleague 2 miles away, that may be a "grandfather" who got in before the new requirements.
1. Negotiate for an onsite OD
2. Buy $20,000 worth of Luxottica frames and you will probably get on EyeMed
[QUOTE=optical24/7;424750]Almost all VSP providers also accept EyeMed vs All EyeMed providers aren't allowed to accept VSP. As example independent opticians can accept EyeMed but are blocked from VSP. (There's some dang good opticians that own their own place.)
I work for an independent that happily takes both. VSP web page is a bit of a nightmare compared with eyemed and won't let a patient use non vsp labs (so no Mauis or Oakley sun) but are reliable and have good customer service. Eyemed does not really care what lab you use but cs can be dodgy.
For the optometrist it's a real pain to file a claim for any assignment claims through Eyemed. It's going to take the front office a lot of time on the phone to find out if the patient is eligible, then you have to fill out the online form with patient's information and then the employee's information all over again. There is no box to check that the dependent and employee have the same address, phone number etc. So if you get a husband and wife with 3 kids you'll be filling in the address, phone number, marital status, student status, 9 different times to get a measly $40 each for your exam. I complained about it. It should be easy to just have a box to check (similar to when the billing and shipping address are the same for credit card orders) but with this company nothing is ever done to increase efficiency.
