Medi Billing Help Ophthalmology Practices Increase Revenue and Minimize Denials
Our ophthalmology medical billing and coding experts know the tricky rules for bilateral coding (-RT/-LT), bundled tests such as OCT and visual fields, medical vs. vision claims, and the multiple procedure payment reduction (MPPR). We check insurance first and use exact codes, such as 920xx for exams, 92134 for OCT, 67028 for injections, and so on. Our team carefully reviews claims to reduce denials caused by incorrect bundling, missing laterality, or poor documentation.
When claims are denied, we quickly resolve issues such as MPPR cuts, E/M overleveling, and eligibility gaps. It recovers lost revenue, speeds up cash flow, and keeps AR days under 30-45 for steady growth.
Our Ophthalmology Billing and Coding Services
We deliver a variety of ophthalmology coding and billing services for ophthalmologists. These include,
Insurance Verification
Before eye exams, surgeries, or diagnostics, we check coverage, copays, deductibles, prior authorizations , and vision plan carve-outs with payers such as Medicare or Medicaid. It stops denials due to coverage issues and helps patients know their costs for tests like OCT (92134), injections (67028), or cataract surgery (66984).
Coding and Charge Entry
Our ophthalmology-certified coders select the appropriate CPT, ICD-10, and modifier codes. We cover all sub-specialties, including retina, glaucoma, cornea, pediatrics, and premium IOLs with ABNs, staying up to date on LCD/NCDs to secure the best payments.
Denial Management and Appeals
We identify root causes, such as missing medical necessity for diagnostics, and gather evidence, including visual field reports and OCT images, then send appeals through payer portals. Our denial management process achieves 99% recovery and prevents repeat denials for high-risk codes.
Payment Posting and AR Management
Our experts post payments in 24-48 hours and check EOBs for short pays on bundled services or MPPR adjustments. We track aging for retina injections, glaucoma follow-ups, or post-op visits, chase secondaries and patient balances, and keep AR under 30-45 days.
Credentialing and Payer Enrollment
We handle provider credentialing, CAQH updates, re-credentialing, and sign-ups with Medicare, Medicaid, vision plans, commercial payers, and out-of-network negotiations to keep billing smooth for all eye care services.
Financial Reporting and Analytics
You get monthly reports on denial trends for 920xx exams, collection rates for surgical claims, profits from cataracts vs glaucoma management, clean claim rates, and MIPS quality metrics. These help you make sound practice decisions.
