Insight EyeCare

The eye Dr. was good, no complaints on that end. However, the person who schedules, orders glasses and deals with insurance is an absolute mess. They dodge phone calls for days and never return calls. When ordering glasses, it took a month for them to finally call us to let us know they were in after being told it would be a week. They were really rude to our insurance people. They don’t proactively bill insurance unless you remind them. When dealing with insurance, they sent a bill with a very passive aggressive note on it claiming that they don’t need to deal with insurance that it was our “responsibility.” Complete incompetence.

I reviewed other comments and so many of them already review significant issues with customer service. I, too, had issues with scheduling, reaching them by phone, "vendor" issues that caused a delay in receiving my glasses, and refusal to follow through on a promised refund. I cannot get in touch with them about my contacts, so I cannot reorder. They will not return my calls or emails, despite numerous attempts.

Doctor Higgins is AWESOME. My kiddo scratched her eyeball, and we needed it checked. We came in on the off chance that we could get checked and not only did DR. Higgins squeeze us in, she really focused on my kid with compassion and kindness. When I came down with a rocking case of conjunctivitis, she ALSO was able to squeeze me in and provided nearly IMMEDIATE relief for my eyeball. She is incredibly kind, efficient, and super knowledgeable. I trust her completely. 💕

Very disappointed. I had been a patient for two years. I waited a month to get an appointment. They informed me AFTER the exam was over that they were no longer accepting my insurance and that I would need to pay for lenses out of pocket and get reimbursed later. I work for the second largest employer in Maine and they decided to stop accepting their insurance. This is something that should have been called out when they scheduled my appointment or at the very least notified me prior to charging me for an appointment.

Before I called Insight EyeCare wanting to make an appointment as a new patient, I checked their website to see if they accepted my insurance. It clearly says that they do accept it. I called to make an appointment and asked if they accepted my insurance, just to double check. The receptionist confirmed that they do take it. I waited 3 weeks for my appointment. The day of my appointment arrived and after filling out all the paper work, they inform me that they actually DO NOT take my insurance. Their denial was after I got 2 forms of validation from their website, and an actual member of their staff confirmed they accepted my insurance on the phone weeks prior to my initial appt. As a patient this is extremely frustrating. They should make sure that their website is up to date and that the
