OMG- I have been trying all month to get my daughters contacts ordered.
( But from instate 3rd party- not through optometrist because I just paid over $2000 for my glasses and they don’t feel comfortable)
First it was delayed because the name for the contacts that the dr uses & the name the company uses are different- although I checked online & they are identical.

Washington, has prescriptions good for two years- I realize many states don’t, but since ins only pays for one eye exam every two years & since the contact exam is completely seperate, it is good that it is for two years.
Unless.
The Dr decides that it is only good for one year.
However, if they decide it is only good for one year, there are steps they are supposed to take to make sure the PATIENT knows it is only for one year.
But how do you prove someone didn’t do something?
So she leaves for school tomorrow, but doesn’t have her contacts.
Have to make an appt for her at her college town.
Grrrr.
( plus they said she had an appt in Feb of 09, which I know isn’t right cause she wasn’t even in the USA in Feb of 09)
otherwise- I like the dr- but …

Are they fixing medical ins?
