IN a short answer, yes. HIPAA is a federal requirement. If you look up information on a computer about a customer or bill an insurance company (even if you are out-of-network) you need to be HIPAA...

If this is a lens prescription, I'm not sure how you can just "drop" part of the lens prescription because it is thought to be impractical to manufacture. I would recommend that Fresnels for...

Ms. Clinton has a VI Cranial Nerve dysfunction or even palsy secondary probably to trauma. Since this causes loss of abduction in the left eye, she needed a large enough frame to hold the Frensel...

Dear Optical Options,

There only a few alternatives for you. In reference to the colleague 2 miles away, that may be a "grandfather" who got in before the new requirements.

1. Negotiate for...

"...The executive director and chief financial officer of a Fairfax County-based national association of opticians have been charged with embezzling more than $1.5 million, in a scheme in which they...

Scribes are "not a waste" of time in my opinion, if the doctor can be more efficient in 3 rooms at one time without hiring an additional doctor then the scribe pays for themselves

One of the reasons that Officemate is still being used is their stability and ubiquity. When hiring staff with experience, invariably more than half will have had some experience with Officemate.

Whether the original poster's allegation that the patient did or did not get a Rx release is the issue. It is convenient to stigmatize further optometrists in refusing prescription releases. But it...

The newer methods or charts that use either LEA symbols or HOTV letters.

I think the EMR that you might want would also depend upon the kinds of patients that you will see. If you do not bill medical insurance or Medicare (below threshold of $25,000 billed ) then a...

If this patient has a convergence insufficiency (C/I) of more than 20 PD, and isn't diplopic, then the patient is likely to be suppressing. If the patient is diplopic, then there is a chance of...

Aren't laser for vitreous floaters a cosmetic procedure?

Thanks also. Good review of ODs

The 21 point exam is for data collection. To analyze the data, you had to do "check" , "chain" and "typing". This is just a version of visual analysis. Others are graphical analysis and the ZCSV.

I think the question is not whether you know pricing. Pricing is one of Kottler's 4P's and is within marketing. If you know marketing you might know what they want. I suspect, though, that if you...

Oedema,

Let's not mislead or bias our answers. The Pinhole is the first result that ophthalmologists or optometrists will ask anybody else when unsatisfactory visual acuity is obtained. We might...

To elaborate, the pinhole is the principal and easiest means of differentiating poor vision due to potential pathology from refractive. If done often enough, the operator can create their own scale...

Use a pinhole.

This is an unfortunate post. By law an optometrist "can" dispense glasses. By implying that optometrists "cannot", it belies the training that they have had in this area no matter how much or how...

1. If unilateral, it is not systemic.
2. Nuclear sclerosis

Finefocus,

It's even better, I think you can ask the prescriber to under Rx the distance lens by +1.00. This gives about 20/40 vision and even preserves intermediate vision when the patient is...

Does the written Rx provide any kind of prism for near. At a 20cm working distance, there would be a significant amount of vergence demand. What is also possible that if this Rx isn't really meant...

I think they are referring to the "red lens" test to check for second and third degree sensory fusion.
