The Proof Behind
the Progress
Satisfaction on Every Side of the Appointment
We deliver satisfaction to both patients and providers. For patients, we do this by generating patient statements as clear as they want their vision to be, helping them understand exactly what they owe you. When patients understand their claims, they pay faster and more completely, which makes your entire revenue cycle smoother. We also clearly separate vision plan charges from medical insurance charges on every statement, so patients aren’t confused about why their eye exam was billed differently than their glasses or contacts. This dual-coverage clarity, unique to optometry billing, reduces patient confusion calls and speeds up collections on both sides of the claim.
Compliance Built Into Every Optometry Claim
MBS1 helps your practice stay compliant with healthcare standards such as HIPAA, CMS, and PHS. Moreover, we stay compliant with federal and state regulations, as they differ from state to state. Our billing specialists stay current with optometry-specific compliance requirements, including proper documentation for medical necessity, accurate use of modifiers like -25 and -RT/-LT, and correct coordination between vision and medical claims to avoid audit triggers. We routinely audit our own coding and billing processes to catch errors before they reach payers, protecting your practice from costly compliance violations and recoupment demands.
Revenue Intelligence Built For Optometry Practices
Clear vision starts with clear financial reporting. We provide reports you can act on for your practice’s growth. Most optometry practices don’t know exactly what’s going on financially because small procedures, such as removing corneal foreign bodies, placing punctal plugs for dry eye, and treating eyelid bumps like chalazions, often go unbilled or get missed on claims. Our reporting helps you understand exactly where revenue leakage is happening and how to fix it. We break down performance by CPT code, provider, and procedure type, so you can instantly see which services are underbilled or consistently denied.
Scalable Optometry Billing Solutions
Your billing shouldn’t be the reason growth feels risky. As you add providers, open new locations, or introduce services like myopia management, MBS1 adapts in real time, no renegotiations, no ramp-up delays, no dropped claims during the transition. We built our systems to expand exactly as fast as you do, so scaling your practice never means scaling your billing headaches.

Optometry Billing Process MBS1 Follows
Confirm Coverage Before the Chair Time Starts
We verify patient eligibility, distinguish medical versus vision plan benefits, and secure prior authorization for OCT scans, visual field tests, and specialty contact lens fittings before every visit, eliminating the most preventable denial category in optometry billing.
Code Every Eye Care Service By The Rules
Our certified optometry medical coding team assigns exact refraction, exam, and diagnostic imaging codes based on medical versus routine vision distinctions, laterality modifiers, and CPT/HCPCS selection, ensuring 92014 is never incorrectly submitted alongside a conflicting E/M code.
Scrub Every Claim Against Optometry-Specific Rules
Every claim is checked against optometry-specific CPT level rules, NCCI bundling edits, glaucoma and diabetic screening medical necessity requirements, and payer-specific billing policies before electronic submission within 24 hours with active tracking.
Recover, Reconcile, Report Everything
Denied optometry claims are worked within 72 hours, underpaid diagnostic testing claims disputed, and monthly dashboards show clean claim rates, AR days, and denial patterns broken down by service type, CPT category, and payer.
The Challenges Slowing Down Your Optometry Practice
Every practice is unique, and you’ve heard it a thousand times: are you being delivered the RCM services your optometry practice requires? If not, then MBS1 can be your choice, as we understand what vision care actually means, with a better understanding of the challenges faced by optometry practices.
Here are some of the challenges, if you are suffering from even a single one of these, you might be losing revenue on claims.
- Staff overwhelmed with billing
- Missing prior auths for OCT/imaging
- No visibility into revenue cycle
- Incorrect same-day vs. different-day coding
- Aging AR over 90 days
- Specialty lens codes missed
- Credentialing delays for new providers
- High denial rates on vision claims
AI-Powered Optometry Billing Built For Accuracy
Technology is evolving, and so should your practice. If you don’t evolve, you’ll be left behind, growth demands that you evolve with it. That’s why MBS1 combines AI-driven precision with optometry billing expertise, catching errors before they become denials and keeping your revenue cycle running smoothly. From routine eye exams to specialty contact lens fittings, our system is built to handle the coding complexities unique to vision care.
Optometry Practice Management, Simplified
Most billing partners see your practice as a stream of claims. We see the patient who needed a same-day recheck, the tech who caught a coding gap before it cost you, the front desk juggling three insurance plans before lunch. MBS1 was built around those moments, not just the numbers behind them. We handle the friction points optometry practices actually deal with: split billing between medical and vision plans, specialty lens documentation, refraction denials that shouldn’t happen. Less noise, more clarity, so running your practice feels less like managing a billing department.
Seamless EHR / EMR Billing Services For Optometry Practices
Your EHR shouldn’t be a filing cabinet that billing has to dig through. MBS1 plugs directly into the optometry platforms you already run, Compulink, RevolutionEHR, Eyefinity, and others — so exam notes, refraction data, and diagnosis codes flow straight into clean claims without your staff re-keying a single field. No duplicate data entry, no lag between what the doctor documents and what gets billed, no scrambling to reconcile two systems that were never talking to each other in the first place.
