My wife went to an eye clinic nearby, she has been having trouble close up vision, and headaches often.
She needs glasses now, and was sent to a waiting room to pay our co-pay after the visit. She sat there, with 5-6 other people, for about 30 minutes before she was called.
Our co-pay was $25, but they also added a "prescription fee" of $30. The fee was for the eyeglass prescription. It seems insurance is unwilling to pay that charge, so it is passed on to the patient. If you want your prescription.
Is this common? This is the first pair of glasses for either of us.
If it matters, this was in Texas.
