Calgary residents can now enjoy seamless eye care services without upfront payments, thanks to Macleod Optometry’s direct billing initiative.
CALGARY, AB, March 07, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ — Macleod Optometry, a leading provider of comprehensive eye care services in Calgary, is pleased to announce the implementation of direct billing for eye exams. This initiative aims to simplify the payment process for patients, making quality eye care more accessible and affordable.
Eye health is a critical aspect of overall well-being, yet many individuals delay essential eye exams due to financial concerns and the complexities associated with insurance claims. Recognizing these challenges, Macleod Optometry has introduced direct billing, allowing patients to receive eye exams and eyewear without the burden of upfront payments or the hassle of reimbursement procedures.
“Our goal has always been to provide exceptional eye care while minimizing obstacles for our patients,” said Dr. Surjot Singh, lead optometrist at Macleod Optometry. “By offering direct billing services, we ensure that our patients can focus on their eye health without worrying about immediate costs or intricate insurance paperwork.”
Understanding Direct Billing
Direct billing is a payment arrangement where healthcare providers submit claims directly to insurance companies on behalf of patients. This process eliminates the need for patients to pay out-of-pocket at the time of service and subsequently seek reimbursement from their insurers. At Macleod Optometry, the direct billing process involves:
Insurance Verification: Upon arrival, the clinic verifies the patient’s insurance coverage and its validity.
Claim Submission: The clinic submits a claim to the insurance provider for the services rendered during the visit.

Direct Payment: After processing, the insurance company pays the clinic directly, covering the cost of the services as per the patient’s policy.
This streamlined approach not only reduces administrative burdens for patients but also enhances the overall healthcare experience.
