Your records are kept strictly confidential. If another individual or organization needs access to information about you, we will require your authorization before any information is released.

Any required copayment will be collected at the time of service. Most insurance will cover complete eye examinations and treatments if there is a medical condition or a diagnosis.

Schefkind Eyecare participates with most major insurance companies.
