Direct Billing for Eyeglasses & Contact Lenses

We bill your insurance directly at the time of purchase — no claim forms, no waiting for reimbursement.

How Direct Billing Works

Three simple steps — we handle the paperwork so you don't have to

1

Bring Your Insurance Card

Just bring your insurance card or plan details — group number, member ID, and date of birth. That's all we need.

2

Choose Your Eyewear

Pick your frames, lenses, or contact lenses. We'll check your coverage and let you know exactly what's covered before you commit.

3

Pay Only the Difference

We submit your claim electronically on the spot. Your insurance portion is deducted instantly — you only pay what's left.
