Maintaining Ophthalmic Lens Additional Attributes

Often, there are additional material or lab costs for high-power lenses, oversized lenses, and other prescription needs that need to be calculated into the patient’s fee slip. By recording additional attribute information, you ensure that OfficeMate automatically includes those fees on fee slips and insurance claims when they are applicable.

If you have OfficeMate Administration access, you can update the additional attributes for all ophthalmic lenses in the Third Party Setup window. Changes made in Third Party Setup overwrite any changes made in the Products window.
