Optometric Billing-The Future of Optometry

All the time I am confronted with OD's who complain or fear the rise of the prominence of Vision plans, decreases in reimbursements from Medicare and other Insurance companies and so forth. However, when I say to these docs "What are you going to do about it?" the answer is usually...SILENCE.

In my opinion, the only way to effect change is to be change. Speak up for what you believe, fight for what you want/need and find a way to be seen and heard. The funny part is that in today's world, it is so much easier to be heard AND seen than ever before if for no other reason than Google (blogger) and Youtube.

Below is a video I found on You Tube. Many of you may have seen this, many may have not. What is most important about this clip is that the people that you will see in it may be very prominent members of the optometric community while others are just getting started. What they all have in common...THEY ARE SPEAKING OUT IN DEFENSE OF THEIR PROFESSION AND MAKING THEMSELVES SEEN AND HEARD.
