- Ensure accurate use of CPT and ICD-10 codes specific to optometry services
- Verify patient benefits and clearly distinguish between vision and medical coverage
- Follow up on denied, rejected, or unpaid claims and resolve discrepancies quickly
- Post payments, reconcile accounts, and maintain accurate patient billing records
- Collaborate closely with providers and front office staff to ensure proper documentation for billing
- Educate patients on billing, coverage, and out-of-pocket costs as needed
Required Qualifications
- 2+ years of optometry or ophthalmology billing experience (required)
- Proven experience billing both vision plans and medical insurance
- Strong understanding of routine vs. medical eye care coding and billing workflows
- Experience with vision plans such as VSP, Eyemed, Davis Vision, etc.
