Standard and premium contact lens fittings

What’s the difference?

“Standard contact lens fit” lenses are clear, soft, spherical, daily-wear contact lenses for single-vision prescriptions.

“Premium contact lens fit” lenses are more complex contact lenses, including but not limited to toric, multifocal/ monovision, post-surgical and gas permeable contact lenses.

The contact lens fit and follow-up billing should generally follow the type of lens you dispense.

You can also bill the following situations as premium fittings:

• Contact fittings started as a toric fit with multiple visits due to astigmatism, in which you ultimately prescribe spherical lenses
• Toric soft lens fittings
• Fitting of spherical lens(es) used in a monovision application
• Prescribing or dispensing an extended-wear lens to a member who intends to wear the contact lens as extended wear

Any other situations outside the definition of premium fittings are considered standard.
