SURGERY
If you need surgery by Dr. Richardson the fee will depend on the type of surgery and the complexity of your eye disease. Although Dr. Richardson’s staff can provide estimates by phone of what Dr. Richardson’s fee would be for a given surgery, the final fee will depend on the results of your evaluation and testing by Dr. Richardson.
- As Dr. Richardson has opted out of Medicare his Surgeon’s Fee cannot be billed to Medicare. However, many PPOs (both primary and secondary) will reimburse a portion of his fee after the deductible has been met.
- Although Dr. Richardson has opted out of Medicare and Commercial Insurance a portion of both the hospital and anesthesiologist fees should be paid by Medicare and PPO insurance plans once deductibles have been met.
- Our Insurance Specialist is available to research what insurance benefits you may have.
