Happy Independence Day from Corcoran Consulting Group!

This summer, Ophthalmology Reimbursed is taking a deep dive into one of the most important and often misunderstood areas of ophthalmology reimbursement.

In episode one of this three-part series, you'll learn the fundamentals of pass-through status, current ophthalmic examples, coding considerations, financial implications, and how these therapies intersect with MIPS and value-based care.

Listen here: https://outlook.pulse.ly/8ez0meddaz

Whether you are a provider, coder, biller, technician, or administrator, this session will help untangle these confusing coding issues.

Participants will gain practical guidance on identifying bundled and mutually exclusive services, understanding when modifiers are appropriate, avoiding common billing errors, and applying Medicare and CPT coding principles to improve claim accuracy and reduce denials. Coding examples and case scenarios will be reviewed to help attendees confidently navigate complex coding combinations and reimbursement rules.

The CPT Editorial Panel’s February and May 2026 Summary of Actions offers an early look at where coding and reimbursement are headed, and ophthalmology is clearly part of the conversation.

If coding and reimbursement are on your radar, this one's worth a few minutes of your time: https://corcoranccg.pulse.ly/43tbbmaxg3

Accurate coding and compliant claims submission remain critical for ophthalmology and optometry practices as payer scrutiny, denials, and reimbursement edits continue to increase. This program provides a comprehensive review of coding bundles, National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits, modifier usage, medically unlikely edits (MUEs), global surgery rules, and diagnostic testing compliance specific to eye care practices.

Our consultants break it all down: what was accepted, what was withdrawn, and what Category III codes signal about where coding is headed next.
