To participate in the TearCare® Promise program, patients must meet the below clinical requirements and consent to the retreatment plan. Full reimbursement shall constitute the cost of the procedure to the patient minus any prior patient rebates up to $900. A copy of the bill noting TearCare® procedure and cost of procedure is required to process any claims.
TBUT and SPEED scores are the ONLY sign and symptom measures recognized as valid measurements in the TearCare® Promise Program. Prior to first treatment, a patient’s baseline signs (TBUT) and symptoms (SPEED score) must be noted in the medical record. Both TBUT and SPEED score must be captured.
Post initial TearCare evaluation (retreatment claim):
If 4-6 weeks after a patient’s initial TearCare® procedure the TBUT has not improved by 50%, AND SPEED score
has not improved by 50%, Sight Sciences will provide the patient (via their prescribing ECP) free-of-charge a set of
SmartLids™ for a second treatment if the patient so chooses to be retreated.
All retreatment claims must be submitted by or postmarked as of September 30, 2024. Any retreatment claims submitted or
postmarked after September 30, 2024, will not be accepted. Any retreatment claims submitted on or before September 30, 2024,
will still be eligible for a reimbursement claim if such reimbursement claim otherwise meets the requirements outlined
in these Terms and Conditions.
Post Retreatment Evaluation (reimbursement claim):
If 4-6 weeks after the second treatment the patient’s TBUT has not improved by 50% over original baseline, AND
SPEED score has not improved by 50% over original baseline, Sight Sciences will reimburse the patient’s TearCare
procedure cost, excluding any prior rebates paid or other visitation fees that may be charged by the practice or
facility. The patient will need to provide evidence of the cost of the TearCare® procedure (up to $900).
