Specialty Overview
Ophthalmology billing, in focus
Ophthalmology billing hinges on one decision repeated all day: eye codes versus E/M codes — a choice that depends on the patient's complaint, the service performed, and payer policy, with major reimbursement consequences.
We support ophthalmology and optometry practices with exam code selection, injection and surgical coding, and imaging billing that navigates the specialty's bundling rules confidently.
