  1. A Guide on Optometry Billing Optometry has highly precise documentation and reporting protocols, norms, and regulations to follow, much like any other specialty. All practises must go by these regulations, which are stringent in terms of timelines and accuracy, and insurance companies will call them out if they don’t adhere. Optometry has 16 different ways to code eye exams, thus it’s critical to comprehend the meanings and applications of these fundamental codes. The 16 mandatory codes are divided into three groups: 2 HCPCS “S” codes (S062X), 4 ophthalmic visit codes, and 10 assessment and management (E/M) numbers (992XX) (920XX). There are three common coding sets used in optometry. • The majority of procedures use CPT codes. • The Health Care Procedural System for all non-CPT covered operations • The ICD-10 diagnosis codes inquiry@infohubservices.com https://infohubservices.com/ Call us +91 829-746-441

  3. Using the Appropriate CPT Code Modifiers Given that services are frequently complicated, CPT code modifiers aid in adequately describing them. You can accomplish the following with its assistance  Determining the necessity of the procedure.  Being aware of the number of doctors treating the patient.  If there have been a lot of previous procedures.  Where the operations were performed, among other details crucial to a claim’s position with the insurance funder. inquiry@infohubservices.com https://infohubservices.com/ Call us +91 829-746-441

  4. Verify Patient & Insurance Provider Details Ensuring the provider has been given the insurance payer’s approval (credentials) is one of the initial steps in optometric medical billing. As per the rules of the insurance plan, don’t forget to file and monitor provider credentialing applications. Whenever enrolment is open, go one step further and routinely check in with insurance payers to ensure that the providers are included in the network. inquiry@infohubservices.com https://infohubservices.com/ Call us +91 829-746-441

  5. Maintain Accurate E&M Records Maintain thorough records that details Evaluation and Management (E/M) service. To assist clinicians in streamlining patient record documentation, CMS announced a number of modifications to E/M documentation beginning in 2019. For E/M office/outpatient visits, doctors are no longer required to re-enter or re- document the patient’s principal complaint and any history that auxiliary personnel or the beneficiary had already recorded in the medical record (both new and old patients). inquiry@infohubservices.com https://infohubservices.com/ Call us +91 829-746-441

  6. Collect Co-Pays and Deductibles Upfront Creating an upfront collection plan is one of the quickest methods to improve your practice’s cash flow. If the patient’s insurance plan has a co-pay, coinsurance, or deductible, always collect it before they leave the clinic during check-in or check-out. Sending invoices ahead of time improves your chances of receiving payment on schedule and decreases Accounts Receivable (AR) delays. Additionally, open balances give a deceptive impression of your AR. inquiry@infohubservices.com https://infohubservices.com/ Call us +91 829-746-441

  7. Follow-Up With Denied Claims Finding the reasons why the claim was initially rejected is never at the top of the list of preferred tasks. The good news is that approximately 90% of denials can be prevented, and on average, two-thirds of them can be recovered. Even while it takes time and frustration to figure out why the insurance payer initially rejected the claim, the longer you wait to figure out what went wrong, the less likely it is that you will be able to collect the whole amount (or any amount) from the insurance provider. inquiry@infohubservices.com https://infohubservices.com/ Call us +91 829-746-441
