Yes, in most practices, refraction billing is one of the leading causes of Optometry Claim Denials, and it happens for a simple reason: CPT 92015 (refraction) is statutorily excluded from Medicare coverage, yet many practices still bill it like a routine covered service. When refraction gets bundled into a medical exam claim, sent to the […]
If you’re vetting an optometry billing company, ask these six questions first: How do you separate medical from vision-plan claims? What’s your clean claim rate for eye-care CPT codes? How do you handle coordination of benefits? What’s your Days in AR for optometry clients specifically? Can you show real client metrics, not averages? And who […]
AR Cleanup for Optometry Practices almost always starts in the same place: a stack of claims that were billed to the wrong plan on day one. An optometry visit isn’t automatically a “vision” claim or a “medical” claim. It’s whichever one the diagnosis and documentation say it is, and when front-desk staff or an EHR […]
Best Optometry Billing Companies 2026: Medical Billers and Coders (MBC) Eye Care Leaders Athenahealth CareCloud Tebra (formerly Kareo) Finding the best optometry billing companies isn’t about who offers the lowest per-claim rate — it’s about which partner understands the split between medical and vision billing, navigates dual-insurance coordination, and protects your practice from the denials […]

The problem most eye care practices face isn’t volume […]
Optometry claim denials are claim rejections issued by insurance payers when an eye care provider’s submission fails to meet documentation, coding, or medical necessity standards — and for multi-provider optometry groups, the cumulative revenue impact can easily exceed six figures annually. That sentence above is not a warning. It is a reality that revenue cycle […]
Your Ophthalmology Yield is shrinking in Q2 2026 because three structural forces — a CMS-mandated efficiency cut to surgical RVUs, an expanding prior authorization pilot across 10 states, and payer-driven underpayment tactics that never surface as formal denials — are quietly compressing your net revenue per case, even as patient volumes stay strong. This is […]
Medical vs vision billing in optometry determines whether a claim reaches a $120–$180 medical insurance reimbursement or settles for a $45–$70 vision plan payment — and for multi-provider eye care groups, defaulting to the wrong billing path on even a fraction of daily encounters eliminates hundreds of thousands in annual collections that no amount of […]
You should switch optometry billing partners when your Net Collection Ratio falls below 93%, Days in AR exceed 35 days, or your current vendor has not updated billing protocols for the CY 2026 MPFS Final Rule, new CPT codes, and the FY 2026 ICD-10 changes — because each of these gaps is silently compounding revenue […]
