Insurance information:
If you have in-state Medicaid, or Medicare, you’re covered! However, with most major insurances, patients will need to call their provider and ask for a GAP exception. This one-time in-network contract allows patients from major providers to be accepted through our system. However, there's more to this process than just this step. Depending on your insurance, you may be required to submit prior authorization. Please reach our office if you have further questions about our procedure for new patients.
Cox Ocular Prosthetics, Inc. is conveniently located in the UAB Callahan Eye Foundation Professional Building at 700 South 18th Street, Suite 402 in Birmingham, Alabama.
