Whatever you do DO NOT go to Rush Optical for glasses. They will RIP YoU Off! I am on Medicare and had cataract surgery and and called Medicare to see if they would pay for my glasses and they said yes due to my cataract surgery. I had to wait over 2 months for my appointment for my eye appointment. Then they charged me $40 that day saying Medicare wouldn’t pay for the refraction exam ( which was because Medicare said is supposed to be included with every eye exam - rip off #1 from Rush) . Then the girl kept arguing with me that she has done this for 20 years and Medicare won’t pay for glasses. Tried to explain to her that yes they will that I spoke with them and I also have supplemental insurance that will pick up anything Medicare won’t pay. After arguing back and forth with me she finally called Medicare as I asked her to several times and she had it on speaker phone so I heard the conversation. Medicare told her that yes they do pay for it after cataract surgery (80%) . The office girl got very nasty with the lady at Medicare telling her she was telling people wrong that she had a copy of what they cover then hung up on her. I then explained to her that my supplemental insurance will pick up the rest. I went over to the girl that helps you pick out your glasses ( her name was Jessie and she was nothing but kind and apologetic because I told her it was with Medicare. She was even the one that called me back today and told me what the office manager had found out. The office manager never returned any calls to me). Jessie said that the office manager had found out that Medicare would only pay for $90 on frames so I would have to pay about $130 out of pocket. I asked her if they even had $90 frames and she said if they did it was only a couple. I finally told her to cancel the glasses and if I had to pay that much I would go to Marysville to Americas Best and get 2 pair of eyeglasses for $79.99 ! So do yourself a favor and go anywhere else but Rush Optical!
