Insurance & Billing
Rummel Eye Care, PC, and its physicians are authorized “Participating Providers” designated to serve patients covered by MEDICARE. As a convenience to patients, our office processes all insurance claims. We also provide care as “Preferred Providers” for several health coverage plans. Most ophthalmologists receive similar fees because of the influence of government and insurance companies upon health care. In an effort to set ourselves apart, we remain committed to providing excellent, personal care to every patient.
Our usual policy calls for payment at the time of service. We understand, however, that everyone’s financial situation is different. If necessary, a confidential payment plan may be arranged. You may contact our insurance department directly by calling 928-445-8007 during regular working hours or you can send us an email to: billing@rummeleyecare.net.
Specialized Medical Services
Special tests are sometimes necessary to assist the doctors in making an accurate diagnosis and in prescribing the proper treatments. Our centers are equipped with the latest instruments. As a service to our patients, we invite a number of sub-specialists to our office on a regular basis. These include specialists for the care and treatment of the cornea, retina, glaucoma, and pediatric eye problems.
RESEARCH
Significant advancements have occurred in eye treatment and surgery in recent years as a result of successful scientific research. Rummel Eye Care has worked on various ocular research projects.
