My wife & I have United Health Care (high option) which has a $10 copay for lenses that includes single, bifocal, trifocal, & lenticular. We both wear bifocals but were quoted $75 each for lenses. They told us that bifocals weren't listed on their authorization form. Long story short, we called our insurance which in turn called the store. It seems that the insurance grouped the above lenses under "standard lenses", however, the authorization form doesn't list them seperately under "standard lenses" & the store used their own judgement. I called another store to see if it was a common problem & they quoted $50 per pair. I don't know if it's just United Health or if it affects others, but beware. Has anyone experienced a similar problem?
