can someone explain to be specifically what the insurance problems optometrists face?
Not trying to ask a dumb question here, just trying to get the specifics. I am Canadian, if that makes it any better. We are covered here for standard eye exams until age 19 in Ontario and then usually corporate insurance can cover glasses, or exams.
So, is there problem in the States that many ppl come in w/o insurance? Or insurance that does not cover eye exams? Or particular tests..?
How does this get resolved?
I'm trying to understand the situation. Everyone always says that this is the major hassles with the field, so I would like to gain a better understanding of the situation.
Anyone who can offer a clear answer is appreciated
