       Billing and AR Services for Busy Optometric Practices

.

One of the most common problems facing optometric practices is the struggle to maintain control over billing and accounts receivable. The reason is simple: It's difficult to find trained personnel who understand the confusing maze of insurance filing and even more difficult for busy staff members to find the time to follow-up on unpaid claims.  As a result, many optometric practices are losing thousands of dollars each year in lost revenue and mounting AR. 


Optometric Billing Solutions can help your practice!

 

 

Claims Submission 

Follow-up on Filed Claims 

Posting of Payments

Management of Accounts Receivable

 

We're an experienced billing company whose mission is to help you meet your practice's financial needs so you and your staff can get back to taking care of patients.   Because the requirements of each practice are different, we tailor our services to each client's individual needs.  

.

Is your insurance clerk having problems keeping up?    We can file your claims and ensure that you get paid the maximum reimbursement allowed for all your services! This frees your staff for patient care and guarantees you're not losing money that's due your practice.

Are your claims routinely getting denied or paid on incorrectly and no one has the time to follow up?     We'll audit your claims to find out why they're not getting processed right and help you fix the problems.  It's costing your practice money every time you have to resubmit a claim that wasn't filed correctly the first time!  Worse, many practice owners would be shocked to learn how often denied or incorrectly processed claims never get refiled and how much this problem alone is damaging their bottom line.

Do you need immediate help getting your accounts receivable under control?    We're available to assist your practice on a temporary basis to get you through a crisis, or we're also prepared to join your team long-term to ensure your practice remains financially healthy.  It's up to you!   

Our experience in handling claims, our knowledge of optometric billing and coding, and our know-how and tenacity in digging into a mountain of AR all mean a bigger bottom line for your company.

Formula for financial success: 

There's a formula we live by that has the power to turn your practice's financial status around: 

  Control Equals Income.
Simple, but very effective.

If you have control over your claims, filing quickly and accurately for the best reimbursement you can get, you'll increase your income.  If an insurance company incorrectly processes a claim and you follow up in a timely and efficient manner, you increase your income.  If you have collection and billing procedures in place to control your accounts receivable and keep them to a minimum, you increase your income.  

Let us get you in control again and increase your income!

Advantages of Using Optometric Billing Solutions

  • Our services pay for themselves. Most of our clients find that our services are at least 20%  to 25% less costly than using in-house staff, even if your staff is trained and doing a fairly competent job.  If you don't have a qualified insurance clerk on staff, then your savings is guaranteed to be even greater!  You don't have to worry about staff turnover, employee benefits, or unpredictable cash flow when you have full-time, professionals working on your accounts.  

  • We're more efficient than other third-party billers.  In most cases, we will log onto your system directly through a secure Internet connection and process claims as if we were sitting at your front desk. This saves you the time and expense of sending us information and paying us to re-enter already existing data into our system!  

  • Your accounts are secure and always available.  Filing claims over your own system through a secure Internet connection ensures the safety of your data because it never leaves your office. You also have real-time updated records with no waiting for account information to be sent back to you, allowing you to answer your patients' questions about their bills at all times.

  • We customize our services to meet your needs.  We can electronically file your claims, follow up on insurance denials, post payments, and compile a monthly AR report for your review. You decide how much you want us to take over, and we'll tailor a plan to meet your needs.  

  • We only serve optometric practices.  Our professional background is in the field of optometry, and our philosophy is to be great at one thing, rather than mediocre at many. Because we specialize, you benefit.   

About Our Company

Optometric Billing Solutions is owned and operated by Brooke Armstrong and Branda Barton.  We're sisters who have both managed large practices and understand the financial challenges facing optometrists because we have faced the very same problems. Brooke has a degree in Healthcare Administration and managed a six million dollar practice in Minneapolis for over five years.  Branda's educational background is also in Healthcare Administration.  She was the financial manager of a 1.2 million dollar practice for two years before leaving to travel throughout the United States as a practice management consultant.  Over and over again, we found the same problems facing optometrists all over the country--the need for better control over practices finances.  In fact, that's how our company was formed--practice owners contacting us for help in managing their billing and collections. If you have billing problems, we have answers!

Free your staff to concentrate on patient care and leave the billing headaches to us!  We invite you to contact our office to learn more about how Optometric Billing Solutions can assist you in keeping your practice financially healthy.
