What if I do not have health insurance, or if See Saw Eyecare is Out-Of-Network or Not Covered?

No problem! Our standard comprehensive examination fee is $180. We are happy to provide a quote for services before your examination and will provide an itemized invoice that you can then submit to an insurance company, an FSA/HSA funded plan, or just keep for your records for tax deduction at the end of the year. You can pay on the day of your exam, or contact us to set up a billing plan.

How do I pay for a bill?

Simply follow the instruction on your invoice. If you do not have an invoice, check your e-mail on file or contact us and we can send you another one.
