We recently had the pleasure of working with Simon Hanna from iCare Consulting to review our Medicare billing processes for 5 optometrists across 3 practices. Simon reviewed a sample of our records and provided a detailed report highlighting the opportunities and risks with regard to each Optometrist's billing practices. He also provided insightful feedback on how our optometrists could ensure their clinical records accurately detailed the reasons for billed items. Following the review, Simon conducted a presentation and consultation session with our team, giving our optometrists the opportunity to ask questions, discuss areas of concern and clarify areas of uncertainty.
The experience was incredibly positive and valuable for our entire team and the practice. Simon’s expertise and guidance have greatly enhanced our billing practices and improved our overall efficiency. We highly recommend Simon Hanna and iCare Consulting for thorough and professional services.

Being in independent optometry practice for nearly 5 decades affords the benefit of experiencing significant moments that change the way we practice. Computerised perimetry, daily disposable contact lenses, therapeutic drugs, OCT, Optos, IPL.....but a less known but highly beneficial action is analysing your practices medicare statistics and investigating how each optometrist interprets the items they are billing for their consultations.
A source of utter amazement ...... how like-minded practitioners, consulting under the same roof, interpret and bill medicare differently for similar consultations ......Undertaking a ‘practice self audit’ was incredibly beneficial in having our group of optometrists realise that many of us were either short changing ourselves by improperly interpreting the medicare item number or potentially leaving ourselves exposed to a formal audit by such misinterpretation.
Guaranteed anyone utilising the services of iCare Consulting will potentially walk away financially better off and will most surely sleep better at night.
