Please understand that checks returned by the bank for any reason will be charged back to your account along with a returned check fee, and your check-writing will be at risk.
Insurance:
South Jersey Eye Physicians will file an eligible insurance claim. However, please understand that you are responsible for the amount that insurance does not cover, such as out-of-network services, deductibles, etc. It is in your best interest to know and understand your insurance plan benefits because not all services are covered under all health plans. If you have insurance coverage but cannot show proof at the time of your appointment, please understand that payment for your care will be due at the time of service. Once our office receives your insurance card, the claim will be filed appropriately.
SJEYE is a participating provider for Medicare and almost all HMO, PPO, and Point-of-Service insurance plans. Please contact your insurance company to verify we are participating providers with your insurance plan.
