Coding Eye Care Visits With Confidence
VisitCoder is an optometric insurance coding calculator that makes finding the appropriate billing codes easy. The logic of the VisitCoder™ often properly supports higher codes than you might have previously selected.
Increased income gained by proper code selection will cover the cost of VisitCoder very quickly. Increasing the bottom line is great, and reducing your concern over the possibility of an insurance audit will let you sleep better at night.
In recent audits of optometrists’ records, grading correctly results in about a 30% increase in the level of visits chosen. That would mean an average increase in gross and net revenue of approximately $23,400 per doctor per year.*
VisitCoder is a handheld device with a 5 inch display that assists optometrists with selecting the proper codes for eye care office visits. Every office visit code choice is based on the national rules for choosing codes for optometry, including the definitions from Current Procedural Terminology (American Medical Association) and the latest version of the Documentation Guidelines for Evaluation and Management Services. PMI VisitCoder will allow you and/or your staff to accurately choose the proper code by entering the key data from the patient's visit.
"Since using the VisitCoder, we are able to more accurately code for the services I provide. It's easy to use and I am more confident my claims represent my level of care."
~ Dr. Michelle T. Valella, Battle Creek, MI
VisitCoder is quick and easy enough to be used by doctors to code the visit prior to moving to the next patient and straightforward enough to be used by staff to choose the code and mark the route slip as the patient walks to the front desk. For a majority of office visits, VisitCoder will even provide you with a choice; one 99000 series office visit and one 92000 office visit; so that you can choose the one you feel best reflects what you’ve done for the patient that day.
VisitCoder has been developed as a partnership between PMI LLC. and Control Vision Corporation. PMI LLC has been consulting with eye care providers since 1989. Control Vision, in business over 30 years, provides software engineering services for the VisitCoder.
