Insurance Billing Information

As a courtesy, Mt. Hood Vision Center will verify and bill your vision insurance; both primary and secondary if applicable.

When making your appointment, please be sure to have your insurance information (name of insurance company, ID #, and phone number) available. This will enable our staff to verify your vision coverage. Please keep in mind that not all insurance companies include vision on all of their plans. It would be wise for you to check your benefits as well. If we find out there are no vision benefits or you are not eligible for your benefits, we WILL call you.

The following is a list of insurance plans in which we participate. If you do not see your insurance plan listed, call our office and we will verify if we accept it.

Payment Policies

Full payment of copays, deductibles, services and materials not covered by insurance is required at the time of service. If you are unable to pay in full at the time of service, payment arrangements can be made in the form of a payment plan. Please talk to our staff to make arrangements.

We also participate in the Care Credit program. If you are not familiar with this program, it is a program that provides financing with many options for payments, such as 90 days no interest or 12 months no interest. If this program sounds intriguing to you, please call our office and we will gladly send you information.

Accounts 30 days old are considered delinquent, when insurance is not a factor. Although we do not charge finance charges or a handling/rebilling fee, we will, after 90 days, turn your account over to our collection agency.

Checks returned for insufficient funds, closed accounts or other problems, will be subject to a $25 charge.
