Optometry Billing Services

Optometry billing is based on vision plans with payers and patient routine check-up or medical plan. This results in a consortium of problems for the optometry practitioners, here comes LHS optometry billing team. We began our billing process with appointment booking, where our team get prior authorization for the complete procedure.

“We have seen an increase in Optometry denials, when providers approach us, they are confused about what went wrong. We need to have a complete prior authorization before patient visits, to determine the reimbursement will be from medical insurance, in this case, it could be from patient’s employer or separate insurance cover or even out of pocket payment.”
