Optometric Practice Challenges
The demands on optometric practices to achieve excellence and patient satisfaction while meeting financial and operational objectives require more effort than ever. In an ever increasing regulatory environment, practices are continually challenged with non-revenue generating activities that consume the doctor’s time and erode profitability. Typical practice challenges include:
- Decreasing insurance reimbursements
- Unfilled and no-show appointment slots
- Coverage voids created by Optometrist turnover
- Administrative burden of Optometrist recruitment and scheduling
- Patient attrition and turnover
- Patient walk-outs and co-pay only revenue due to limited insurance plans
- Revenue lost through improper claims coding
- Increasing compliance and risk management responsibilities

Credentialing
- Recover lost revenue opportunity due to lack of credentialing with the right carriers. A walk-out or lost patient can easily lead to missing two additional new patients per day for the credentialing period of three months. At $59 per appointment, that translates to $3,600 per month of lost revenue.
- Streamlined provider credentialing for maximum reimbursements and decreased credentialing turnaround.
