This site is dedicated to
eye care colleagues and
their practices. The
information presented
reflects “best coding and
documentation practices”
from current eye care
payment policies.
Policies from many health
care entities are collated into one free easy to access source. I have made every attempt to present payment policy alone without reference to opinion. Moreover, when opinion is rendered it will be noted with an asterisk* otherwise the information obtained here will be referenced and/or linked to the original source. The intended audience is the practitioner in an office based setting wishing to practice a common sense approach to coding and documentation. I share 25+ years of billing, coding and documentation experience from the perspective of a practicing optometrist and a seasoned insurance claim auditor. Furthermore our practice has pioneered EHR technology and I will utilize this technology in the demonstration of coding and documentation examples. I understand there are many opinions and ways to accomplish proper coding and documentation. I hope you and your practice benefit from this “best practices” approach facilitating the often frustrating and complex world of eye care coding.
Happy Coding,
Kim Castleberry, OD
