I agree that Ocala Eye seems to be billing patients for uncovered procedures. For example every routine eye exam I had for the past 20 years in New York included refraction as part of the cost of the routine checkup. However, at Ocala Eye this was billed separately, was not covered by insurance and cost me $50. When I called I was told this is how it is. Too bad. I even asked to speak with the office manager while on a 2 hour wait after driving to their Ocala office for follow-up. Never saw the manager. Asked Dr. Polack if refraction was a necessary part of an eye exam and he said yes, then why was billed for this separately. It seems like this place wants you to buy extra stuff, do extra tests, and have treatments that may or may not be necessary. Beware of this office. I am going to get a second opinion elsewhere.
