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 […]
