Outdated AR Systems
Optometry Billing with Outdated AR Systems A
Growing Concern The average medical practice,
including optometry, relies heavily on patient
payments, which account for nearly 40 of its
total revenue. As patient responsibilities
increase, relying on outdated accounts receivable
(AR) systems can cost your optometry practice
thousands of dollars in uncollected payments.
Accurate billing is crucial to the financial
health of your optometry practice, and outdated
AR systems can severely impact profit and revenue
streams. Understanding AR in Medical
Billing Accounts receivable (AR) in medical
billing refers to the money payable to a practice
after billing patients or their insurance
providers for services rendered. Optometry
billing is particularly challenging due to the
high rate of errors, including returned claims,
denied claims, rejected invoices, improper
coding, and insufficient data. Approximately 30
of medical invoices contain errors, which can
significantly disrupt cash flow and
profitability. Impact of Outdated AR Systems on
