Questions about direct billing eye care clinics in Ottawa
Answers from the listings above.
What does direct billing mean at a eye care clinic?
The clinic sends your claim to your insurer for you, so you pay only the part your plan does not cover instead of paying in full and claiming it back. Not every plan or every service qualifies.
Is direct billing guaranteed at these eye care clinics?
No. Each clinic is listed because its own website says it bills insurers directly, and we note the month we read it. Policies change, and your plan may not allow direct billing for every visit, so confirm with the clinic and your insurer before you book.
