    Oh look. EyeMed messed it's pants. Yet Again.

    Can't file exam claims at all today. We can't be the only ones, right?? Seriously wish someone could bring down some crazy scorched earth wrath upon their offices. Especially Eva's. NOBODY LIKES YOU EVA! Literally NOBODY!

    Don't worry, won't be long until they start forcing people to the retail chains they own.

    Currently trying to process a Clearvision frame they are not recognizing even though it is current.

    No override being allowed...

    Giving them a call after someone hides all sharp objects in the office.

    So, did anyone else come across the mandatory frame input?

    I'm starting to see a pattern here:

    Essilor lenses are cheaper for patient to buy= encouraging them to request these lenses.

    Luxottica frames start coming out cheaper for patient to buy= shifting them to go with Lux instead of independent lines.



    Conspiracy theory? OR truth!
    Have I told you today how much I hate poly?

    I honestly can't wait. The day they drop small business, the day I'm free! My office won't do it themselves, so I say BRING IT.

    I think it may be a security issue- They're asking us to block pop up's and clear cookies to submit exams.

    Still can't get my glasses orders to go through without hitting a block as frame not in a recognized collection.

    Need a more computer savvy person in the office than me to help me in the am.

    Any idea on why the addition of the frame info requirement?

    Well, yesterday seemed to be better for a short while.

    Now, this morning, the entire site is dead. Can't even log in at all.

    Seriously - this is insane.

    Every *smart* practices dream. I've worked for a precious few of them over the years, and it was awesome. Sadly, the current employer is one of the "insurance" Kool Aid connoisseurs. Even their phone reps are in the dark today, apparently. Maybe somebody shot Eva? (YAY!)

    Did eyemed get sucked into a black hole? I just tried to call provider relations and I got a "this number is not in service" recorded message.

    Hard to say. But one has to imagine someone...or several someones in the IT department are freshly looking for gainful employment. Crashing an entire global web platform worth $$$BILLIONS$$$ for days on end can't make one's supervisor very happy.

    One would think. Cynically, from the Eyemed perspective every minute their system is down is another minute they aren't paying anybody. Maybe the IT guy is getting a promotion.

    With Luxottica that wouldn't shock me.

    I did actually have that thought as well. At least when the claims submission part of the site went tits up. But for the entire site to crash to the point even the CSRs couldn't do anything - that's got to be a much larger problem for them. I hope any potential gains they made sitting on our money were eaten up today. Probably not though...

    I think they're trying to "upgrade" (aren't they all called this!) the system to recognize all Frames Data listed frames first. I'm going to guess they own Frames Data too these days.

    The workaround to enter a less recognized line involves going into Vision Web- copying the order number and then plugging it into Eye Med under Claims. Otherwise the dreaded yellow shows up and leaves you dead in the water.

    Submitting claims seems to be working better so I think that gremlin got fixed.

    Did you clear your cache and disable pop ups?

    Yep, tried that already... It's working intermittently now. If we have trouble submitting a job, we wait 45 minutes and try again.

    If you get locked into finding a frame that isn't in their database (we had a Tom Ford for example that we couldn't look up,) we just select the House Brands option and type in whatever info we can from there. We figured this out only after calling Eyemed up and asking what we could do for these frames, and their answer was to file a paper claim! Sorry y'all but I have literally anything else to do with my time than that.

    I have yet to have a single frame turn out to be in their database.

    My favorite have been the jobs I've had today where I entered all the exam, lens, and frame information only to click SUBMIT and have nothing happen at all.
