Letter To Replace The Eyeglasses Analysis
I am writing to inform you that Arkeem Mclemore, has dismantled his eyeglasses. Therefore, on Monday, 4/3/2017, I went over to the Optical Shop, to see if the glasses were repairable, but the receptionist Mary Beth, explained that the frames needed to be replaced. However, Mary Beth also stated that Medicaid would not cover the charges to replace the eyeglasses because the insurance company had just purchased the eyeglasses in February. Though, she stated that the charges of $32.89 would have to be paid out of pocket. I have discussed this matter with Mr. Ricky Smith and he stated that the out-of-pocket fees would have to be approved by you, in order to move forward and replace Arkeem’s eyeglasses. Please give me your thoughts and feedback

Beside the organization’s great patient care, certain departments have invested in making poor financial decisions, which are now becoming a hindrance to the organizations profits. In the recent reviews of the organization financial data, the center has given huge discounts to managed care organizations, such as Medicaid/Medicare.

    As optometrists, we always seek ways to improve primary eye care provisions to our patients. Primary eye care encompass from refractive services to the diagnosis and management of ocular pathologies. With the steadily evolving field of technology, eye care services are more fine tuned and this enable optometrists and other eye care practitioners to provide even better eye health services to patients.

    An effective medical office financial policy is one that both staff members and practice patients can easily follow and understand. Patients need to understand their obligations and staff members need to know what is expected of the patients. All possible situations should be addressed by a good financial policy. This includes financial arrangements and payment plans, payments for services not covered by the insurance company, and a variety of other circumstances. The basic elements of an effective policy should inform patients how particular situations will be handled. Collection of a patient’s copayment, deductibles and any past-due balances should be addressed; as should payment for services that are not covered by a patient’s insurance company. An effective policy should address how a practice handles prepayment for services they will provide and also any possibility for payment arrangements of unpaid balances on a patient’s account. If a practice offers charity care or discounts to patients with low incomes/financial need it should be stated in the financial policy. Finally, a practice’s financial policy should state their accepted forms of payment such as cash, checks, money orders, and credit or debit cards.…
