Optometric Billing-Choose Office Ally as Your Clearinghouse...or opticXpress..Which is Also a Clearinghouse, And We Use Office Ally Anyway!

When it comes to submitting your medical claims to the insurance company, there is no better place to turn for EVERY optometric practice than office ally. Yes, I know you want to use vision web cause VSP/Eyefinity owns them and you think you have too. DUMB IDEA. Not only does it cost you money (office ally is free so that is a no-brainer) it is incredibly useless in terms of getting your reports back like EOB's/ERA's or correcting claims. Office Ally makes this process, easy, simple and intuitive. It is easy to correct and resubmit corrected claims and downloading and converting remittance advises/EOB's is a breeze. Also, Eyefinity owns officemate and officemate DOESN'T EVEN USE EYEFINITY TO RETRIEVE/IMPORT ERA'S, THEY USE GATEWAY EDI (ALSO, A STUPID AND EXPENSIVE SOLUTION, BUT THAT IS AN ENTIRE POST UNTO ITSELF) SO THAT SHOULD GIVE YOU AN IDEA AS TO HOW NON-USER FRIENDLY THE VISIONWEB SOLUTION IS. 

The following was posted on Office Ally's website today, and I agree with it 100%:

"False Accusations by CompetitorsPosted on: Thursday, January 30, 2014

Office Ally does not have plans to start charging for services that are currently free. Office Ally will continue to allow its clients to submit claims to participating payers electronically FREE OF CHARGE just as we always have. 

When you are at the top in your field, some competitors resort to deceptive ploys and outright lies in an attempt to entice customers to come on board with them. Recently, a competitor of Office Ally sent out marketing materials falsely claiming that Office Ally is telling its clients that we will start charging for clearinghouse services that are currently free. This could not be farther from the truth! 

We want to reassure you that these made-up claims are unfounded and just plain wrong. This is merely an unprofessional attempt by a competitor to scare you into using their services. 

We appreciate your business and thank you for your loyalty!"

YOU WOULD NEVER, NEVER,EVER SEE GATEWAY, VISIONWEB, OR APEX POST A PROMISE LIKE THAT, OFFICE ALLY STANDS BEHIND THIER PRODUCT, THEY ARE EASY TO WORK WITH AND THEY PROVIDE THE MOST CUTTING EDGE SUPPORT YOU WILL FIND ANYWHERE!

Did I mention that Office Ally is also FREE?!!! Do you really need another reason to choose them to submit your claims?
