Let Patients Know Healthy Vision Is More than Seeing Clearly

You have an important role in your patients’ overall health. Emphasize to your patients that eye exams are about more than helping them see clearly—Doctors of Optometry also look for signs of health conditions. 

Leverage these resources in your practice during Healthy Vision Month (and every month!). 

• Video about the importance of vision care – Share with your patients this video of your peers talking about how they help their patients see and live healthy lives. 
• Online Education and Training – Access courses designed for staff and doctors on a variety of topics, including COPE-accredited continuing education courses on diabetes, hypertension, and dry eye. Visit premieredgetraining.com to learn more. 
• Patient Education – Promote Healthy Vision Month on your social channels using this no-cost, VSP Premier Edge^TM Marketing Support toolkit and video showing patients what to expect during an eye exam. 
• CPT Category II Resource Center – Take advantage of these resources and include CPT Category II codes on exam claims for patients with diabetes and/or diabetic retinopathy to receive the $5 patient condition payment. Visit VSPOnline at eyefinity.com to learn more about the patient condition payment. 

We’re also working to create awareness with our members through additional efforts, like our monthly member newsletter and social channels, encouraging them to schedule an eye exam with a VSP^® Network Doctor.
