Please don't go to this eye group. They will rip you off; my husband went in for a normal eye exam, they convince him that he has to go every year, knowing my insurance covers every two years unless your vision depth has changed; well he goes anyway because he says he needs a stronger prescription, then he comes home and shows me the bill. I said wtf we have insurance, he said they told him thats what he owed. I looked at our benefits, and called them. The rude front desk girl told me it was because he has pre glaucoma and so they bill my medical insurance and therefore he has to pay for the rest of the pocket for the contact fitting as if he has no insurance. I said um no. I wanted to speak with the manager Christisan but she said to wait a minute so she can go speak with him, she then came back to tell me he was on the phone. I said ill be there in five minutes. My husband and I arrived in 7 minutes, and she proceeded to tell me that Christisan went to lunch. WTF, anyway they went and got Fred, whom we happen to know, and he said that Christisan is at the Encinitas store, Im said to him that that moron of a front desk just said he left for lunch, so lie lie lie. That was the first mistake; fred then tried to calm the waters, by telling my husband the reason his visit was medical is because he has pre glaucoma. I said he came for a routine eye exam that is covered under our vision insurance, he then proceeded to tell me that they treat him under the medical insurance. I said no fn way, he wasn't being seen for pre glaucoma, and my vision insurance covers that exam. I said what does the comprehensive exam include, he said he didn't know, I said are you kidding you just give an exam not know what it covers. I then called the vision place and they told us what it covered and what we were to pay. Even with that call they continued to give me the bullshit runaround, and then I said, why was he not told of the pre glaucoma and sent to our Dr, or why wasn't he given any information about this when you found this 4 years ago, and we never knew, no paper work, no information about how this can effect the rest of your life, etc.... he then said well didn't you speak with the doctor about this. HELLLLLLLLOOOOOO!!! did you just hear us, we said we never knew of this. I then said this is not the problem, the problem is that we need to know how much my husband has been taken over the course of 9 years, and how much we have paid out of pocket. Not just us but others. I spoke with our medical insurance to let them know that they are double dipping, because get this, they bill my vision insurance for the exam, and then billed my medical insurance for the same exam. The vision insurance pays for dilation to see if you have glaucoma, why are you billing my medical insurance. SCAMMMMMMMMMMM!!! We were to hear from christian but to no avail. Then I get the billing statement from our vision insurance. The date is wrong, it does not show that they billed for the 10.00 co pay, it was then canceled, due to me saying that this was going to be a legal issue real quick; and yet to this day, no word from them. PLEASE DO NOT LET THEM RIP YOU OFF. read more
