Why Choose Us
Like a vigilant optometrist spotting subtle vision issues before they worsen, our AI system detects and resolves invoice discrepancies instantly. We craft a tailored workflow that ingests scanned bills from lens suppliers or lab services, extracts data with 99% accuracy, and routes approvals via secure, role-based channels. Fully HIPAA-compliant, it integrates seamlessly with your EHR and accounting tools, turning chaotic paperwork into a streamlined process that supports your patient-centric mission.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time and Cost Savings Tailored to Your Practice
Save 12+ Hours Weekly on AP Tasks
Save 12+ Hours Weekly on AP Tasks: Frontline staff in optometry offices often drown in invoice paperwork for vision correction supplies, pulling them from scheduling eye exams or assisting with contact lens fittings. Our automation handles capture, validation, and posting to EHR systems—freeing up to 12 hours per week per admin. That's time redirected to enhancing patient experiences, like quicker turnaround on prescription glasses orders or dilated fundus exams, with benchmarks showing a 25% productivity boost in similar practices within the first 3 months.
Achieve 35% ROI in First Quarter
Achieve 35% ROI in First Quarter: Manual errors in invoice processing for optical reimbursements cost optometry practices an average of $5,000 annually in overpayments and HIPAA audit fees. Our custom AI minimizes these by 95%, delivering measurable ROI through reduced labor costs and faster payments to vendors for cataract surgery supplies. One client saw payback in just 10 weeks, with ongoing savings funding new diagnostic tools like optical coherence tomography (OCT) for better glaucoma screenings.
Ensure Bulletproof HIPAA Compliance
Ensure Bulletproof HIPAA Compliance: Regulatory scrutiny in healthcare means no room for data mishaps with PHI in invoice records. Our solution encrypts all invoice data end-to-end, logs every access for audits, and flags anomalies like unusual billing from contact lens suppliers or irregular Medicare claims. This not only avoids fines—up to $50,000 per violation—but builds trust, allowing your team to focus on compassionate care like diabetic retinopathy checks without compliance worries.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our two admins spent Fridays buried in supplier invoices for designer frames and multifocal lenses—it was exhausting and led to frequent overpayments on vision insurance claims. Now, the system auto-matches everything to our EHR and flags mismatches in real-time, cutting processing time from 8 hours to under 1. Last quarter, we saved $2,800 on overpayments alone, letting us hire a part-time optician for advanced contact lens fittings."
Dr. Emily Chen
Optometrist and Practice Owner, ClearVision Eye Care Clinic, serving 500+ patients monthly in suburban Chicago
"HIPAA audits were a nightmare with our old spreadsheet system for reimbursements on routine eye exams and glaucoma treatments. AIQ's automation secured everything with role-based access and sped up approvals by 40%. In the first month, we reclaimed 10 hours weekly, which we've used to train staff on new fundus camera equipment for early diabetic eye disease detection. It's transformed our workflow without any learning curve."
Mark Rivera
Practice Administrator, EyeCare Specialists Network, managing three locations with high-volume Medicare patients
"We were losing track of lab invoices for custom orthokeratology lenses during peak allergy season, delaying payments and straining vendor relationships for urgent orders. The custom AI they built integrates directly with QuickBooks and our patient management system—zero glitches in six months, even during our busiest walk-in rushes. Processing costs dropped 28%, and our month-end close for vision therapy billing is now done in days, not weeks."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation ensure HIPAA compliance for our optometry invoices?
HIPAA compliance is non-negotiable in healthcare, especially when invoices may reference patient data like insurance details. Our custom AI uses end-to-end encryption for all data in transit and at rest, with granular access controls ensuring only authorized staff view sensitive info. We implement audit trails logging every interaction, aligning with HHS guidelines. For optometry practices, this means secure handling of reimbursements tied to vision exams without exposing PHI. We've audited similar systems to pass OCR audits with zero findings, and we provide documentation for your compliance officer. Setup includes a privacy impact assessment tailored to your workflow, reducing breach risks by 98% compared to manual processes.
What if our current accounting software isn't compatible?
Compatibility issues plague many practices juggling legacy systems. We specialize in deep, two-way API integrations with popular optometry tools like QuickBooks, Xero, or even niche ones like Eyefinity. Our engineers assess your setup during discovery, then build custom connectors if needed—no superficial plugins that fail. For instance, we've integrated with RevolutionEHR to auto-post lens invoices directly, cutting manual steps by 85%. If your software lacks APIs, we use secure file-based syncing with validation checks. This ensures seamless data flow, preventing the integration nightmares that waste 20+ hours monthly in unoptimized setups.
How quickly can we see ROI from this automation?
Optometry practices typically see ROI within 2-3 months, driven by immediate time savings and error reductions. Manual AP costs average $12 per invoice; our AI drops that to $2, with 95% accuracy in data capture. A mid-sized clinic processes 200 invoices monthly— that's $2,000 saved right away, plus 15 hours reclaimed for patient care. We benchmark against industry standards, like the 35% cost reduction reported by MGMA for automated AP in healthcare. Post-launch, our dashboards quantify gains, such as faster vendor payments improving discounts by 5-10%. Long-term, it scales to support growth without added headcount.
Will this require extensive training for our staff?
We design for minimal disruption, knowing optometry teams are stretched thin with daily appointments. The intuitive dashboard mimics familiar interfaces, like your EHR, so admins adapt in 1-2 sessions. We provide hands-on training via video calls, focusing on key actions like approving a contact lens bill. For doctors, it's passive— just quick mobile notifications. One client, a busy multi-location practice, had full adoption in a week, with no productivity dip. Ongoing support includes a knowledge base auto-generated from your processes, ensuring self-sufficiency. It's not a steep learning curve; it's an extension of your workflow.
Can this handle variable pricing from optical suppliers?
Absolutely—optometry invoices often fluctuate with custom lens specs or bulk frame orders. Our AI learns from your historical data to normalize variables, extracting details like diopter values or material types with 99% precision. It auto-matches against POs, flagging variances for review, unlike rigid templates that fail on custom jobs. We've built this for practices dealing with suppliers like Essilor or Luxottica, reducing mismatches by 90%. If pricing changes mid-month, the system adapts via rule updates without recoding. This keeps cash flow steady, avoiding disputes that delay reimbursements for vision therapy services.
What happens if the AI makes an error in processing?
Errors are rare but possible in complex scenarios, like partial shipments of exam supplies. Our system includes multi-layer validation: AI extraction, rule-based checks, and human review queues for high-value items. If an anomaly slips through—like a misread insurance code—it auto-notifies the approver with context. Post-processing audits catch 99% of issues before posting. For optometry, this safeguards against overpaying on variable-rate contacts. We've refined this through deployments in 100+ healthcare settings, achieving under 1% error rates. If needed, we offer a 30-day tuning period with your feedback to perfect accuracy.
