Eyefinity announces the newest version of Eyefinity Practice Management. This updated version improves upon Eyefinity Practice Management’s robust attributes and offers useful new features and expanded functionality.

This section includes:

Front Office Enhancements

Eyefinity Practice Management 10.2 Front Office includes enhancements to the following areas:

Improved Scheduled Recall Report

You can now generate the Scheduled Recall Report for all recall types for the specified date range. You can also select specific providers and offices to include on the report.

Printing all recall types on the Scheduled Recall Report makes it easier for practices that use Eyefinity Patient Engagement to compare this report with the Eyefinity Patient Engagement operational report to ensure their recall information is correct.

Flexible Recall Letter and Postcard Printing

The list of generated recall reports has been updated to display all patients included on each report and enable you to print letters and postcards for specific patients. For more information on using this feature, go to Printing Recall Letters and Postcards.

Enhanced Financial Reports

The following financial reports have minor changes that improve consistency between reports. No changes were made to the data contained in the reports.

Customer Credit Report

  • The Order ID column is now labeled Order #

Front Office Patient Collections Report

  • The Patient column is now labeled Patient Name

Front Office Patient Mail Check Refunds Report

  • The Trans Num column is now labeled Transaction #
  • The Order ID column is now labeled Order #

Monthly Business Summary

  • The 3rd Party column is now labeled Net Ins. Recv

Lab Options for Non-VSP and Non-Insurance Eyeglass Orders

When you create an eyeglass order using a non-VSP insurance or Non-Insurance/Private Pay, you can now select whether to submit the lab order electronically or manually.

  • Electronic lab submission means that the system will transmit the order directly to the lab upon invoicing. Only labs available for electronic submission (eLab) will appear on the Add Lab screen. Once invoiced, the order will be shown in the Invoiced Orders list with the order status In Process, and a green icon will indicate that the order was submitted successfully.
  • Manual lab submission means you will be submitting the lab order outside Eyefinity Practice Management. Both manual and electronic labs will be available on the Add Lab screen. Once invoiced, the order will be shown in the Invoiced Orders list with the order status Ready, meaning the order is ready for you to submit manually.
Setting orders to Manual lab submission helps prevent duplicate orders for insurance plans that require you to submit orders on their websites, such as EyeMed or Medicaid.

Invoice Comments

A new Invoice Comment field has been added to the Pricing screen to enable you to record additional information about the patient's order. Invoice comments print on the patient's invoice. If the invoice covers multiple orders, invoice comments for all the orders are included. Comments are limited to 200 characters.

Screening Codes from Eyefinity EHR

If you have Eyefinity EHR integrated with Eyefinity Practice Management, the following procedure codes will now be imported from your exams:

  • S9986.1 - Screening Corneal Topography (CPT is S9986.1)

  • S9986.2 - Screening Frequency Doubling Technology (FDT) (CPT is S9986.2)

  • S9986.3 - Screening GDX (CPT is S9986.3)
