eye surgery claiming healt cover and tax back???

hi guys,
just looking at different prices around, and wondering how to claim all thats due back to me, for example.

At optilase, its 3790.00 euro for both eyes, my vhi gives 15% and then the 20% tax back.
Do i have to pay it all off before i can claim it back? send it bill etc to them?
Would that be 35% in total off the price then or what way does that work?
if so taht would be 1326.50 ero off the price of 3790.00, or what way do you calculate it?

Cheers all

You'll get the vhi discount straight off the bat and then you have to apply for the tax back!

So on the day you'd pay full price - 15%..

Im only looking around at the moment. Optilase and optical express seem the main 2. Similar pricing. Suppose wont know exactly the price until i have consultation.

If it sways it at all, if you PM me I'll give you my details for Optilase and if you give them my name as a referral you'll get â‚¬100 off and I get the same for referring :-)

AFAIK Optical Express have now reduced the time allowed for aftercare to twelve months. It's well worth checking into the t&c's of them all before deciding.

Yep its 12 months, a girl I go to the gym with got it done with them 6 years ago and just failed her eye test for driving so needs glasses so she was looking into their warranty! Optilase have a lifetime guarantee with theirs!
