Ophthalmology Medical Billing Services by TueCa RCM™
Ophthalmology Billing is one of the most detail-oriented and niche specialties in Medical Billing! From extremely process-laden coding and documentation needs to constant payer changes and global surgical periods, practices in eye care are confronted with a set of billing challenges that can cripple the bottom line when not run properly.
In this time of increased regulation around US healthcare, ophthalmologists need more than just the basics—they need an eye care medical billing partner that specializes in billing for ophthalmology and understands the intricacies of vision care services to ensure all claims are correct, compliant, and reimbursed quickly.
At TueCa RCM™ (a DBA of CareLink Billing Services LLC), we’re committed to providing comprehensive ophthalmology billing services designed to simplify workflows, minimize denials, and optimize revenue potentials for our clients. Our team has over 24 collective years of experience and knowledge within medical billing and client satisfaction, which takes the burden of your practice processing away from you.
Billing in ophthalmology is far different than general medicine billing as the specialty relies heavily on procedures, diagnostics, and surgeries. Each service must follow stringent medical necessity criteria as well as payer-specific rules.
- Correct application of ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS codes
- Appropriate use of modifiers such as -25, -50, -59, RT, and LT
- Global Period and Packaging for Global Surgical Service
- Audit and appeals documentation requirements
- Multiple Medicare and commercial payer policy changes

For sales related enquiry
Leave the revenue cycle to us so you can concentrate on providing quality eye care.
What makes ophthalmology billing so distinct from the normal billing process?
Ophthalmology billing inherently includes an abundance of procedure-centric coding, surgical global periods, diagnostic testing, and modifier usage. These are the types of quirks that demand expertise in each specific area, to ensure compliance, avoid denials, and capture every dollar possible.
How does TueCa RCM™ lower ophthalmology practice claim denials?
What we are concerned about is getting the right codes out the door, payer rules, and predictive documentation. Our denial resolution team identifies root causes and develops remediation plans to avoid the same problems from occurring.
Do you bill Medicare and commercial insurance?
Yes, we bill ophthalmology for Medicare/Medicaid/all other major commercial payers. Our staff is current with payer policies to facilitate the timely and proper submission of claims.
Is TueCa RCM™ applicable to the surgical ophthalmology specialty?
Absolutely. We are experienced in cataract surgery, glaucoma procedures, retina services, and all surgical ophthalmology treatments – including global period management and modifier use.
In how long of a timeframe does it take for an ophthalmology practice to get up and running using TueCa RCM™?
In weeks, most practices should be able to make the change. We have a proven onboarding process to make it easy for you, with little to no downtime and no interruption of your billing and cash flow.
Is outsourcing ophthalmology billing cost-effective?
Yes. It saves you on payroll costs, billing mistakes, and denied claims, and increases cash flow. Practices get expert billing while avoiding the expense of running an in-house billing team.
