What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, our team was buried in manual entries for VSP vision insurance claims—taking two full days each week on co-pay adjustments. Now, the custom AI automates it all, cutting reimbursement times from 45 days to just 9 for our 150 monthly patients. It's transformed patient billing without any HIPAA issues on PHI handling."

Dr. Sarah Jenkins

Lead Optometrist, ClearVision Optometry Group (3 locations in suburban Chicago)

"We integrated their solution with our NextGen EHR last quarter, and it's been a game-changer for tracking invoices from Essilor optical suppliers. Errors in lens orders dropped to zero, and our accountant says we're saving about $8,000 a year in processing fees for our multi-site inventory. Finally, tech that fits our setup across four clinics perfectly."

Mark Thompson

Practice Manager, EyeCare Network (Regional chain serving 5,000+ patients annually)

"As a small rural practice, we couldn't afford delays in Medicare reimbursements for glaucoma screenings involving OCT imaging. AIQ's tailored system automated claim approvals and flagged documentation discrepancies instantly. In the first month, we recovered an extra $12,000 that was stuck—staff are thrilled to spend more time on patient consultations."

Common Questions

How does your solution ensure HIPAA compliance for invoice data in optometry?

HIPAA compliance is non-negotiable in healthcare, especially for optometry practices handling sensitive patient billing info. Our custom AI systems incorporate end-to-end encryption using AES-256 standards, with all data transmissions secured via TLS 1.3. We conduct automated audits on every process, logging access points and changes for traceability. Unlike generic tools, we tailor these features to your workflow—such as de-identifying patient data during invoice extraction from exam records. In our deployments, we've achieved 100% compliance in third-party audits, reducing breach risks that cost the industry $10 million annually. Your practice gains peace of mind, focusing on vision care while we handle the regulatory heavy lifting.

Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations with popular optometry EHRs like RevolutionEHR, Eyefinity, or Compulink. Our engineers map your specific data flows—pulling invoice details from patient encounter notes and pushing approvals back seamlessly. This eliminates manual re-entry, which plagues 70% of practices and causes 15% error rates in claims. Setup involves a one-week mapping session, followed by testing on live data subsets. Clients report 50% faster month-end closes post-integration, with no disruptions to daily operations like scheduling retinal exams.

What if our practice has multiple locations with varying invoice volumes?

Multi-location optometry practices often face fragmented billing, but our solution centralizes everything into a unified, scalable platform. We build custom hierarchies to aggregate invoices from each site—say, your main clinic and two satellite offices—while respecting local variations like different supplier contracts for frames. AI handles volume spikes, such as back-to-school vision checks, processing up to 1,000 invoices daily without slowdowns. One client with three locations saw a 35% drop in reconciliation time, unifying their cash flow visibility and enabling better inventory decisions across sites.

How much time does implementation take, and is there downtime?

Implementation is phased to minimize disruption, typically spanning 4-6 weeks for optometry practices. Week 1: Discovery and design, mapping your workflows like co-pay collections post-exam. Weeks 2-3: Build and integrate, with parallel testing to avoid touching live data. Week 4: Pilot run on 20% of invoices, full go-live by week 6 with staff training. Zero downtime—our systems run alongside your current process initially. Post-launch, we provide 24/7 support, ensuring smooth transitions that have helped practices reclaim 10-15 admin hours weekly right away.

Is this more cost-effective than subscribing to multiple AP tools?

Absolutely—our one-time build plus minimal maintenance replaces the 'subscription chaos' of tools like Bill.com or generic AP software, which can cost $5,000+ yearly for optometry-scale use. You own the system outright, avoiding ongoing fees and integration brittleness that lead to 25% hidden costs in fixes. For a mid-sized practice, ROI hits in 6 months through 60% time savings and $20,000+ in recovered reimbursements. We benchmark against industry standards: practices save 40% on total AP expenses, redirecting funds to patient-centric upgrades like expanded contact lens fittings.

How does the AI handle unique optometry billing like frame and lens reimbursements?

Optometry billing is nuanced, with variable reimbursements for frames, lenses, and exams under plans like VSP or Aetna. Our AI is trained on healthcare datasets to recognize these specifics—extracting CPT codes for refractions and matching them to insurance EOBs with 98% precision. It automates variance checks, flagging underpayments on high-margin items like anti-reflective coatings. Custom rules accommodate your practice's retail model, integrating point-of-sale data for accurate tracking. Clients note a 30% reduction in denied claims, streamlining what used to be a manual maze and boosting net revenue per patient visit.
