Numerous years of experience in optometry medical billing has provided MBC billers specialized knowledge and insight of the specialty. Avoiding optometry medical billing errors… Medicalbillersandcoders.com experts believe that an optometry practice can increase their collections by averting billing errors and by keeping in mind the following- • Ensure that the diagnosis code matches the procedure codes -for instance a code for myopia doesn't match a visual filed procedure code. In the same manner a pterygium code cannot be used for a scanning laser test, but is payable for an anterior segment photograph • Be as specific and consistent as possible - this is possible by acquiring a complete understanding of codes and modifiers. For instance most specific ICD-9 have four or five digits, and coding a diagnosis with five digits when it requires four, leads to claim denial. Coders need to get information from reliable sources and also cross reference alternative sources such as American Optometric Association codebook and Codelink Ophthalmology.
