6. Insurance

PRACTICEPAL - P1647

They offer a great solution for insurance benefits. Daily eye care practice operations are time-consuming and expensive due to constant confusion around insurance eligibility, copay amounts, and vendor portal credentials. Staff members schedule appointments without verifying vision insurance and then spend countless hours a month checking vision care plan portals to find eligibility and copay information for patients, ultimately having to painstakingly decipher plan details to calculate the copays.

Capture 5 extra patients a month by having a quick way to verify their insurance while staff is on the phone, and bring in a potential of $21,000/year. This will also save your staff time, allowing your staff to do more valuable things for you rather than search for insurance benefits. 

Cost starts at $199/mo.
