The Eye Clinic of Florida accepts Medicare and most major insurances.
We accept Medicare, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Tricare, and Aetna to name just a few.
Copayments and deductibles are due at the time of your visit. We accept cash, Visa, Master Card, Discover and American Express.
Patients are often confused about the differences between medical and vision insurance.
Vision-only plans such as VSP, EyeMed, etc. are for routine vision care only. These standard check-ups are simply exams to check for new glasses or contact lens prescriptions. Patients may only access their vision plan once every one to two years. Vision-only plans are appropriate only if there are no active eye problems or history of eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, dry eyes, or macular degeneration.
Medical problems (not including visits regarding glasses or contact lens prescription) such as red eyes, decreased vision from cataracts, or eye pain is not covered by vision-only plans. They are instead covered by your medical insurance (i.e., Medicare, United, etc.). Follow-up visits are determined by medical necessity, not by once-a-year rules. If during your medical visit, you would like your eyes checked for glasses (refraction) as well, then the cost is only $45 for that additional service. Contact lens fitting fees vary by the type of lens. Call the office for the most current information: (813) 538-1500.
We offer reasonable rates for most uninsured patients.
We take some, but not all, Medicare Advantage plans. We do not accept Humana, Universal, WellCare, or Freedom plans. Many of these plans substitute glasses exams for medical and surgical specialist care. Unfortunately, their patients have very little choice in which doctors they can see.
We also do not participate with Medicaid (not to be confused with Medicare).
Recently, some private insurance companies have begun to offer Medicare Private Fee for Service Plans, or PFFS for short. If you have a PFFS plan, then we can see you and your insurance will pay.
If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, call the office for more information. Some may offer you choices, but many behave as HMO’s.
If you need help changing from your HMO, ask us first. We will be happy to assist you.

Happy Patient Testimonials
Happy Patients Talk About Their Experience with Cataract Surgery and Dr. Mahootchi.
This place is something AWESOME. Before my aunt had cataract surgery she had trouble counting fingers right in front of her. Now she has 20/20 vision. I must admit I was skeptical at first because of just being the type of person who worry a lot about my aunt. But I'm glad we trusted the process.
Years after surgery’s seeing 20/20 the results are outstanding. Now I only visit annually for a health checkup. Thank you Dr. Mahootchi and Team!!
I had a pleasant experience at The Eye Clinic of Florida. It was my first time there, and everything went really well. Dr. Huang and all the assistants were very thorough.
I am new to the area and needed my annual eye exam. After researching several eye clinics and reading the reviews I decided to book an appointment with the eye clinic of Florida.
It was a very nice experience and happy I chose them. They are friendly and knowledgeable!
I highly recommend them.
I have been going here for two years now, and both times the entire staff, from reception to nurse to doctor, were all so kind! They have a great selection of eyewear, the eye exam was made very comfortable, and again everyone was so nice. I would absolutely recommend this location to others (:
My experience at The Eye Clinic of Florida was outstanding. Dr. Mahootchi and his staff are extremely kind and caring. When I was in the surgical center I saw the staff cleaning the chairs and utensils whenever a patient left the area. Very impressive. I would highly recommend The Eye Clinic of Florida and Dr. Mahootchi to anyone.
Dr. Mahootchi is A #1 in my book, for sure! He has performed a couple procedures and I couldn’t be more happy with the results. The Same Day Surgery Center is very accommodating, as well as, the staff. All of the staff are very caring people, and make sure their patients are taken care! I highly recommend The Eye Clinic of Florida!
