For a period of 90 days from the date of manufacture, lenses must be returned to us, and new lenses will be made one time at no charge.*   Dr. Rx Change:
A doctor rx change made within 90 days of the original manufacture date of the original job will be honored in full (minus a $15 processing fee).*

2. Clearly input the warranty need and original invoice in the service description.
3. Return lenses to improve our process.

Question 4

Can Acculab email me a shipping label?

Accepted Answer

We provide a login ID and password for all of our clients to have access to their own shipping labels available through the UPS portal. Because of this availability, we do not provide shipping labels through email.

Question 5

RxWizard isn't allowing me to submit an order. Can I send a hard copy to Acculab for manual entry?

Accepted Answer

We highly advise against this option. We charge for manual entries, and don't want to do that to you! If you are having trouble submitting a job through RxWizard, please refer to the DVI RxWizard section of the FAQ's.

Question 6

I received a job back and it looks like something's up with the lenses. What do I do?

Accepted Answer

Though we never anticipate it, things can happen on occasion.
Aways send the lenses back. We'll be happy to take a look at them for you!    Steps to have a lens remade:
1. Submit a remake order through RxWizard. 
2. Make sure to specify in the service description what is going on with the lenses. 3. Make sure that "remake" is clearly inputted in the service description. 4. Return lenses to improve our process.

Question 7

What is DVI RxWizard?

Accepted Answer

DVI RxWizard is the digital portal that connects our clients to us here at Acculab. It enables our clients to transmit over jobs completely digitally! No need for written up forms.

To use, clients need only download the RxWizard (available through our ordering tab),
and follow the instructions for set up- we provide instructions specific to the client when a partnership is established.

Question 8

Does DVI RxWizard work with Vision Web?

Accepted Answer

Though DVIRxWizard is not associated with Vision Web, it is able to work with together with Vision Web to transmit orders to us in the lab.  
However, remakes will need to be submitted differently than if RxWizard was downloaded and available for use. That may look like submitting a new order, and noting on the order, "remake". 
With Vision Web, orders submitted can take an undetermined amount of time to reach us on our end. 
If there are any issues with ordering through Vision Web, because we aren't associated with them, we can't fully assist with transmission errors or issues.

Question 9

How fast does Acculab receive jobs once they are transmitted?

Accepted Answer

We receive jobs 10 minutes after clients transmit them our way. 
If a client has any questions about a recently submitted job, and it's before the 10 minute mark, we will try to answer them as best we can, however, we will not be able to fully assist until the job has been fully transmitted.

Question 10

My remake or second job won't transmit or shows an error in RxWizard. What do I do?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the error, this is DVI's fail-safe against duplicate orders. It may recognize the second job or remake as a duplicate if the order is placed within a certian timeframe of the first order's completion and shipment. 
The best way around this is to put a number next to the patient's name -you may have to backspace a letter to allow a number to fit next to the patient name. Then, try transmitting again. By putting a number next to the patient's name, this will help DVI recognize this as a new, non-duplicate order, and will allow you to transmit the order through to us.      If this doesn't work, double check that all areas other than the ones you need filled are cleared out all the way. RxWizard can detect even a period, or an extra space as an "error" and halt transmitting over the job because of this.
