The numbers are clear: Fireworks are dangerous and July 4 is an especially risky time for eye injuries. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's most recent annual fireworks injury report (PDF) fireworks caused 12 deaths and 10,000 injuries in 2019. Three-quarters of the fireworks injuries treated in emergency rooms happened between mid-June and mid-July.

Please be safe this weekend!

In the past, patients with Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans were eligible to enroll in the Good Days program, a national non-profit charitable organization, that assisted with offsetting the cost of the patient responsibility coinsurance for injections based on financial need.

Unfortunately, at this time, Good Days has not received adequate funding in order to continue to provide assistance for all eligible patients.

As a result, unless there is additional funding received, moving forward, patients will be responsible for their coinsurance amount at the time of their visit. As participating providers in the Medicare program, The Retina Group is required by federal law to collect unmet deductible, and coinsurance amounts for Medicare and Medicare Advantage plan beneficiaries.

The Retina Group recognizes the importance of continued treatment for their patients – if you are unable to afford your coinsurance, please do not skip your scheduled appointment – there may be other treatment options available.
