I get what you say, but if no one needs a "valid Rx" to buy CLs (and glasses?), can ANYONE refract? Or only the three Os can refract, but you can still order whatever Rx you want?
I guess if you really want to play the grey zone, you can probably have anyone "refract", then write the Rx on a post-it, then ask the Customer to just get that? It's really shady here in BC!
And its' really cool to see how we little we get paid from the government. Under 19 and over 65 y/o, Government pays $46.17 for a complete eye exam. In Alberta (neighboring province), they easily get 30 dollars more for an exam.
We had patients yell on top of their lungs when we charge them for a co-pay for seniors. Those who are between 19-65 are not covered at all, so what they do is bug the heck out of their PCP to write them a referral letter to see an OMD. That way they get everything for free.
