Vision therapy and neuro-rehabilitation are used to treat specific diagnosed ocular, visual and visual perceptual conditions. In some cases, vision therapy is the only available and effective treatment option for those conditions. Treatment may be covered under major medical or vision insurance plans. An important consideration of managing a vision therapy practice is to appropriately code for all patients, whether using insurance or not.
Reimbursement of Optometric Vision Therapy
This information packet has been developed to assist individuals involved with medical insurance claims processing and review to better understand the application and utilization of optometric vision therapy. Although vision therapy is not a new area of medical care, information gained from scientific research and clinical application of vision therapy has been expanding in recent years.
Optometric vision therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment modality for many types of problems affecting the vision system. Vision therapy services include the diagnosis, treatment and management of disorders and dysfunctions of the vision system including, but not limited to, conditions involving binocularity, accommodation, oculomotor disorders and visual perceptual-motor dysfunctions. However, the exact length and nature of the therapy program can vary with the specific complexity of the diagnosed condition.
This packet contains fact sheets regarding the treatment and management of various conditions with optometric vision therapy. Because of the differences in complexity of conditions and management approaches, this information should be used only as a guideline.
