Streamline Your Revenue Cycle with Experienced Medical Billing Professionals
Running an optometry practice is no small feat. In many offices, staff juggle multiple responsibilities—from greeting patients and verifying insurance to managing clinical workflows and billing. Too often, billing becomes an afterthought, leading to denied claims, missed revenue, and inaccurate reports.
The Problem
Do any of these issues sound familiar?
- Your team is unsure how to handle medical optometry claims.
- Your current billing company lacks specialized knowledge of optometry.
- Your Accounts Receivable is out of control—or you’re not confident in its accuracy.
- You’re losing money on uncollected claims.
- Monthly revenue reports leave you with more questions than answers.
You’re not alone. We work with optometry practices across the country who struggle with these same challenges—and we help them turn things around.

Experts in Optometry Subspecialty Billing
Optometry is evolving. Many providers now offer a range of services that go beyond traditional eye exams, venturing into areas like laser surgeries, low vision rehabilitation, and dry eye management.
That’s great for patient care—but it complicates billing.
At Applied Medical Systems, we’re already up to speed on the coding rules and payer requirements for these subspecialties. That means no extra training for your staff and no unnecessary denials for your practice. If your front desk is unsure how to handle a service—or if you’ve seen denial codes like PR172 (“Payment is adjusted when performed/billed by a provider of this specialty”)—we know how to help.
We routinely handle clean claim submissions for the following optometry-related subspecialties:
- Vision therapy
- Laser surgeries (YAG, SLT, etc.)
- Retinal disease
- Keratoconus/Scleral lens management
- Low vision services
- Surgical comanagement
- Dry eye management
- Medicare DME billing
- Nursing home visits
