About Client

A prominent eye care organization with multiple clinics provides comprehensive ophthalmology services to patients across diverse specialties in the United States. This health-tech start-up brings together general ophthalmologists, pediatric specialists, cataract and glaucoma experts, retina care teams, optical centers, surgery units, and a dedicated LASIK center. With numerous practices and providers operating under one umbrella, the group focuses on delivering coordinated, high-quality care to patients across multiple clinics and service lines. Their goal has always been to streamline care delivery, improve patient experience, and operate efficiently across all administrative and clinical departments.

Problem Statement

Inefficient Patient Flow Management

Front desk teams lacked a real-time, queue-based structure to track where each patient was waiting and how long they had been waiting. This resulted in delays, inconsistent experiences, and limited visibility into daily clinic load.

Complicated Appointment Booking

Call centre agents needed a streamlined way to match patients with the right provider, location, and insurance coverage. The absence of multi-filter search and direct scheduler access slowed down the booking process.

Insurance Data Fragmentation

With multiple payers and policy types, staff needed real-time co-pay, deductible, and balance information. Without API-based verification, financial accuracy suffered.

Complex Billing & Claims Dependencies

Ophthalmology billing requires precise handling of CPT/ICD-10 codes, modifiers, units, procedures, and contract-driven pricing. Errors led to claim denials, rework, and delays in payment.

Limited Clinical Data Flow Between Roles

Technicians and physicians required a seamless, shared environment to enter clinical data, review history, manage imaging, and finalize encounter notes.

Fragmented Remittance & Collections Processes

Without a unified workflow for EOBs, reimbursements, denied claims, and no-response cases, revenue cycle operations were inconsistent and time-consuming

Solution
1

Efficient Patient Flow & Access

Real-Time Patient Flow Management

We implemented an intuitive “Today’s Schedule” dashboard that enables the front desk to manage patient flow in real time. Patients move through structured queues like Check-In, Intake, Physician, and Check-Out, while timers and color indicators highlight delays to improve throughput and reduce wait times.

Smart Appointment Booking System

The appointment workflow was redesigned for speed and accuracy. Agents can search doctors using service type, ZIP code, insurance, or preferences, while capturing patient details instantly. Multi-view schedulers with time slots and availability make booking across clinics seamless and efficient.

2

Connected Patient & Clinical Experience

Centralized Patient 360 View

A comprehensive patient profile was built to consolidate demographics, insurance, financials, clinical history, and appointments. Real-time insurance lookup allows staff to instantly access co-pay, deductibles, and balances without switching systems.

Digitized Clinical Workflows

End-to-end clinical workflows were digitized for technicians and physicians. Technicians capture vitals and patient history, while doctors access a complete clinical workspace with imaging, summaries, exam tools, and follow-up planning for more informed care delivery.

Optimized Billing, Claims & Operations

End-to-End Billing & Claims Management

A complete billing system enables encounter creation, charge posting, and validation using CPT/ICD codes. Automated claim validation, clearinghouse integration, and remittance processing streamline payments while reducing manual effort and errors.

Advanced Operations & Governance

From collections and denial management to contract automation and role-based access, the platform ensures full operational control. Integrated research and reporting tools further enable data-driven insights and structured clinical studies.
