Optometric Billing-Increase Reimbursement From Vision Insurances (VSP, DAVIS, EYEMED, SUPERIOR, ETC)

Yes. It's true. You can increase your reimbursement from vision plans that you participate with. There is no special trick to doing this. No special coding that you are required to learn. It's such a big secret, the vision company execs would probably kill me if I let this get out...but I'm gonna take the risk.

It's not hard to make this happen, in fact, it's actually quite simple. All you need is an individual working for you that is talented on the phone and the "cohones" to say "Cancel my contract"!!! Don't believe me?

Here at our clinic, we have successfully negotiated will ALL BUT ONE of our vision plans for an across the board increase of base pay for exams. Where we were receiving $38-$45 before for eye exams, we are now receiving $75 per exam FROM EACH COMPANY and many of the vision insurance companies have been gracious enough to raise our materials reimbursements as well, in most cases without us asking! The only company that didn't want to "play ball" was N.V.A and guess what? I just faxed them our notice of termination.

The bottom line is this: you don't have to continue to accept these low-ball reimbursements from vision plans! You can do something about it...especially if you are in a market where allot of employees utilize a particular plan or if it is a "high rent district". 

Not sure you are ready to try this on your own? Want some help from an optometric billing specialist ? Call us today and we can help you get paid what you deserve from vision insurance companies!
