To ensure doctors have the most up-to-date information on a specific plan, they should use these resources and follow the provided links to the plans' respective COVID-19 response pages.
Doctors of optometry or their offices can contact Rodney Peele or Adam Greathouse in AOA's Third Party Center with plan questions and issues.
