This type of practice can yield great emotional and financial rewards while making connections between you and your patients. Many resources are made available at your fingertips while bringing a new dimension to the practice when beginning to train staff. Investing in technology can go a long way in building your patients loyalty. How can your optometric billing help build your specialty practice?

When performing routine eye exams on Aetna Patients it is a good idea to get in the habit of using
