Monashee Optometry FAQ

Do you offer direct billing?
Yes! We are pleased to offer direct billing to your primary insurance provider as an added service to our patients. We are able to bill most major insurance providers. Please have your policy information ready at the time of your appointment. Please note – we have no access to your coverage information. Please contact your provider directly with any questions or concerns.
Do you have free parking?
There is free on-street parking available on 28th Avenue. There is also a paved visitor parking lot available behind the building (The Hub).
What do I bring to my appointment?
For your eye exam appointment, please bring any prescription glasses you are wearing. If you are a contact lens wearer, please wear your contact lenses into the appointment as well as bring your prescription glasses. Please bring your Personal Health number and any third party insurance information if you would like us to direct bill for your appointment. We also recommend bringing along a driver in case your eyes are dilated during your eye exam. We look forward to having you in the clinic!
If I was a previous patient of Dr Barrie, is my file there?
Per the College of Optometrists of BC, all patient files remain in at the previous location. All we need is your signature to consent to the transfer of your file, which we can get at the time of your appointment here at Monashee Optometry!
