      Good Afternoon, The patient in question does have insurance which covers a basic frame with a CR-39 lens (plastic) at no cost. When the patient and mother selected a a frame, they selected a designer frame. In addition, they selected upgraded poly, photochromatic lenses with an antireflective coating. These are all items that are not covered by their insurance and required an out of pocket payment. This was explained to the patient and she paid for the upgrades at the time of the visit. Then when the glasses came into the office, we contacted the patient and told her they were ready for pick up, and she refused. She wanted a refund. We processed her refund, minus a restocking fee as the lenses were made specific to her order, therefore we are not able to reuse them. 

      If the patient had expressed to our staff their desire to stay within their benefits, we could have talked them through what was completely covered and what were upgrades. Our staff review benefits with the patient prior to their selection of materials. Please advise if there is anything else needed to close this concern. 

       

      Thank You.
