Insurance Verification
Optometry practices: never miss a patient because of the phone
Your AI receptionist picks up every call, answers optometry-specific questions, and books the appointment — day, night, weekends, and holidays.
The Problem
Why optometry practices need insurance verification
These challenges cost practices thousands in lost revenue every month.
Vision vs medical confuses everyone
Patients don’t know whether their visit falls under VSP or their medical plan — and sorting it out by phone burns staff time.
Coverage questions stall eyewear sales
Unclear frame and lens allowances make patients hesitate, delaying the optical sale that rides on the exam.
Plan-acceptance calls flood the desk
VSP, EyeMed, Davis — every "do you take my plan?" call ties up a team member who should be helping in-office patients.
