- HCF’s fund rules exclude benefits for goods & services that have not been received at the time of claiming.
- A rebate will not be provided unless a complete product is delivered to the patient.
- A frame only is not considered a complete optical or medical appliance and the patient must pay in full with no rebate claimed in store / no code 110 listed on receipt. Once the patient has lenses glazed in the frame and has a receipt indicating that, the patient may receive the full rebate in full from the HCF office.
- Plano sunglasses do not need to be retained by the provider if a patient orders a complete pair of prescription sunglasses.
