I'm sorry, but I am still not clear on this issue---apparently the eye glasses are not coverred. but in our case--and I had asked this earlier this week, the new resident on skilled unit wants to go to her eye appt that had been set up prior to admittance --is the eye dr visit and exam included in our daily rate---or can the office just bill the patient?? thanks
