This doctor points out that Red Eye (and Dry Eye) procedures are billed through a patients medical coverage and not their Managed Vision Care.
"When patients come to you with a red eye, they understand when you tell them their appointment will be billed to medical. There is usually minimal resistance. Additionally, this is a great place to “train” your patients on the value you provide to them for care beyond glasses and contact lenses."
The AXIM Diagnostics tests are a totally new revenue stream for some of these Eye doctor offices. Billed through medical insurance instead of Vision Care.
