What is Eyecare Co-Management?
To provide caring vision solutions that enhance your life, we partner with other healthcare providers such as Ophthalmologists and primary care providers \ to ensure our mutual patients receive first-class eyecare services both preoperatively and postoperatively. These partnerships are made possible through a common practice known as co-management.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology, the Ame
rican Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, define eyecare Co-Management as ‘the sharing of preoperative and postoperative responsibilities between the operating surgeon and another healthcare provider. It is a common practice in many medical specialties and is recognized by Medicare and private insurance carriers.’
Optometric Association
, Doctors of optometry work collaboratively with other health care providers with one goal in mind: providing the best care for every patient, with on-the-spot referrals and more efficient eye care. In this practice management model, patients win because they have easier access to expert eye care. And when patients win, doctors win.
