What a optometry vsp / eyemed insurance specialist does
An optometry VSP and EyeMed insurance specialist runs vision plan eligibility 48–72 hours before every routine eye exam — confirming exam, lens, and frame benefits with VSP, EyeMed, Davis, Spectera, Versant, NVA, and Superior Vision. They identify members with frame allowances ready to be used, contact lens benefits, and exam-only patients vs full-package patients.
They document the breakdown directly in RevolutionEHR or Crystal PM for the front desk and optical to use at check-in and dispense.
An optometry VSP and EyeMed specialist is a remote team member who lifts optical capture rates by ensuring every patient knows what their plan covers before they sit down to choose frames.

Optometry Virtual Assistant
An optometry virtual assistant is a dedicated remote staff member who runs the daily admin workload of an optometry practice — scheduling annual eye exams, dilations, contact lens fittings, and medical eye care visits inside RevolutionEHR, Crystal PM, OfficeMate, Eyefinity, or Compulink. They handle inbound calls, route portal and SMS messages, manage the cancellation waitlist, coordinate contact lens and frame reorders, and run recall outreach for annual exams.
Learn moreMedical Insurance Verification Specialist
An optometry medical insurance verification specialist runs eligibility for medical eye care visits — diabetic eye exams, glaucoma, dry eye, AMD, post-cataract, and red eye visits — with commercial, Medicare, and Medicare Advantage payers. They confirm specialist copays, deductibles, coinsurance, advanced imaging benefits (OCT, visual field), and any prior auth requirements.
Learn moreContact Lens Reorder Coordinator
An optometry contact lens reorder coordinator runs the contact lens reorder program — outreach to patients due for an annual supply, processing reorders for in-clinic dispense or direct-ship, submitting manufacturer rebates (Alcon, J&J, Bausch + Lomb, CooperVision), and managing the contact lens prescription expiration recall.
Learn moreOptical / Frame Finalization Coordinator
An optometry optical and frame finalization coordinator runs outreach to patients who completed an exam but didn't finalize a frame purchase. They call within 48 hours of the exam, walk the patient through frame and lens options remaining on their VSP or EyeMed allowance, schedule a frame fitting, and recover the optical sale that would otherwise walk to a competitor.
Learn moreRecall & Annual Exam Scheduler
An optometry recall and annual exam scheduler runs proactive outreach to bring every patient back for their annual eye exam on time — leveraging vision plan benefit reset dates, contact lens prescription expirations, and diabetic eye exam recall windows. They text, call, and email patients, document every attempt in the EHR, and rebook missed visits.
Learn moreSpecialty Referral Coordinator
An optometry specialty referral coordinator manages outbound referrals to ophthalmology, retina, glaucoma, cornea, and oculoplastics specialists. They confirm the patient's medical insurance, secure prior auths and HMO referral numbers, send chart notes and imaging (OCT, fundus, visual field) to the receiving specialist, schedule the patient when possible, and chase the consult report back into the EHR.
