TIPS TO IMPROVE 
OPHTHALMOLOGY BILLING AND 
COLLECTIONS
 
HOW WOULD YOU EXPLAIN THE WORD ‘EFFICIENT’? IT CAN BE DEFINED AS 
GIVING MINIMUM EXPENSE OR EFFORT TO ACHIEVE MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY. 
IN THE FIELD OF OPHTHALMOLOGY, HAVING AN EFFICIENT OPHTHALMOLOGY 
BILLING AND COLLECTIONS PRACTICE WILL HELP THE FACILITY ENHANCE THE 
PATIENT’S EXPERIENCE. IT WOULD MEAN REDUCING THE WAIT TIME FOR THE 
PATIENTS, HAVING EASY CLAIM POLICIES, AND NOT HAVING TO REPEAT THE 
INFORMATION TO THE PATIENTS, STAFF, DOCTORS, OR OTHER STAFF 
MEMBERS.  THOUGH AN EFFICIENT PRACTICE IS VITAL FOR THE SUCCESSFUL 
RUNNING OF THE HOSPITAL, EFFECTIVE 
OPHTHALMOLOGY BILLING SERVICES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR 
PRACTICE AND THE PATIENTS.

TIPS THAT CAN MAKE YOUR PRACTICE 
EFFICIENT WITH PROPER OPHTHALMOLOGY 
BILLING AND COLLECTIONS:
1. CHECK WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY
WHEN A PATIENT CONTACTS YOU FOR SERVICES, THE FIRST STEP IS TO VERIFY 
WHETHER THE PROVIDER HAS A LICENSE FROM AN INSURANCE COMPANY. YOU 
MUST CHECK THE FILE AND FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES GIVEN BY THE 
INSURANCE COMPANY FOR THE PLAN FOR THE PROVIDER. TAKE A STEP 
FURTHER, I.E., CONTACT THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO CHECK WHETHER THE 
PROVIDER IS COVERED WITHIN THE NETWORK TO ENSURE YOU GET PAID FOR 
THE OPHTHALMOLOGY SERVICES ON TIME.

2. USING THE RIGHT MODIFIERS
OFTEN BY MISTAKE OR JUST TO GET PAID MORE, OPHTHALMOLOGY PRACTICES 
USE CPT CODES SUCH AS 92133 – 92134 AND THE CPT 99250 – THE FUNDUS 
PHOTOGRAPHY CODE USED FOR A SINGLE VISIT BILLING. ALL THIS WOULD 
RESULT IN DENYING THE CODES AND THE CLAIMS OR PAYING FOR THE CODE 
WITH THE LOWEST REIMBURSEMENT RATE BY MEDICARE OR OTHER INSURANCE 
COMPANIES.
3. STAY UPDATED
STAYING PREPARED FOR THE CHANGES IN THE OPHTHALMOLOGY CODING AND 
DOCUMENTATION RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR EVALUATION AND 
MANAGEMENT (E/M) IS VITAL FOR EVERY OPHTHALMOLOGIST AND THE STAFF 
OF A FACILITY. IN FACT, PART OF THE 
OPHTHALMOLOGY BILLING AND CODING WOULD REQUIRE YOU TO SELECT 
THE E/M CODES THAT ARE APPROPRIATE INSTEAD OF THE PHYSICAL 
EXAMINATION OF THE PATIENT’S HISTORY.

4. PRACTICE ON-TIME SETTLEMENT
CHECKING WHETHER THE PATIENT’S INSURANCE PLAN IS BASED ON DEDUCTIBLES OR CO-
PAYMENTS IS A MUST. USING AN ONLINE FORM FOR THE PAYMENT OPTION FOR THE PATIENT 
AT THE TIME OF ENROLLING WOULD ALLOW YOU TO INCORPORATE ON-TIME PAYMENT 
SETTLEMENT. 
5. CHOOSING THE RIGHT BILLING PLAN
6. BETTER COLLECTION PROCESS
7. FINDING THE RIGHT BILLING AND COLLECTION PARTNER
IT CAN BE CHALLENGING TO GO THROUGH THE COLLECTION OF PATIENT INFORMATION, 
VERIFY THEM, KEEP UP-TO-DATE WITH THE CODES, AND TRAIN THE STAFF WITH THE LATEST 
RULES AND REGULATIONS. THE BEST WAY TO ENSURE EFFICIENT OPHTHALMOLOGY BILLING 
AND COLLECTION FOR PRACTICE IS BY PARTNERING WITH THE CORRECT OPHTHALMOLOGY 
BILLING AND COLLECTION PARTNER. 24/7 MEDICAL BILLING SERVICES IS ONE SUCH 
OUTSOURCING OPHTHALMOLOGY BILLING COMPANY THAT GUARANTEES MAXIMUM 
REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE SERVICES RENDERED.
