Advanced Scheduling

With our ophthalmology-specific practice management software, it’s never been easier to stay on top of your practice’s schedule. Our drag-and-drop scheduling solution simplifies appointment creation for your team and patients. It’s also built to optimize your workflow and to be accessible across practice locations.

An efficient scheduling solution boils down to time saved. With that time, you can take on new patients, open up another location, or simply clock out earlier than before.

Patient Engagement

Your ophthalmology practice does a great job serving patients. It’s time for your PM software to catch up.

Nextech delivers a seamless patient experience, thanks to our easy-to-use patient portal. Healthcare information, payments, and an appointment scheduler can be found in the portal, simplifying patients’ visits to your office. 

Plus, Nextech’s PM software allows ophthalmology practices to quicken their check-in/out procedures. Less administrative time means patients spend more time with their doctors and appointments are faster.

"The more efficient you are with check-in and checkout, and with documentation in the exam room, the more you can engage with people, resulting in a much better patient experience. With Nextech, all our processes are so much easier. Simply put, you don’t have to work hard to accomplish what you want. They’re very intuitive, that’s something we’ve really enjoyed."

Lead Management & Marketing Automation

Nextech’s ophthalmology PM software helps at each stage of the marketing process, from ideation to analysis. 

Our integrated EHR can pull data quickly and transfer it to an email management system, call log, or other marketing platform. The PM software can then trigger specific emails or calls to patients or leads without action from your team. 

Because the integration happens quickly and allows for automatic follow-ups, many practices improve lead conversion rates. Once a lead is interested, the process to schedule an appointment is less complicated and your team has access to their information in one central database. 

When reflecting on marketing campaign performance, you can quickly pull up advanced analytics on Nextech’s PM software. Plus, our system provides helpful insights based on the marketing campaign’s goal.

Patient Portal & Mobile App

Patients should have quick access to their health information. That’s why our ophthalmology PM software comes with a patient portal. Patients can log into the portal on their desktop, tablet, or phone. 

Once in the portal, they can:

  • Create multiple patient appointment types 
  • See charts and visuals from appointments
  • Pay bills faster

Process Payments Faster

Our ophthalmology PM software integrates with multiple payment options so patients can choose how they pay. Plus, our system can accept payments in the office or remotely through the patient portal.

When insurance companies are involved, our PM software can split payments between insurance companies and patients. Unlike other solutions, our system stores patients’ insurance and payment information in one place alongside other important patient data. This centralization enables faster insurance claims and decreases payment reconciliation time.

"Nextech Payments increased efficiency since we don’t have to go through a third-party website to process payments anymore. We’re saving exactly 3 minutes and 47 seconds when processing patient payments. This adds up to many hours saved per week and has helped create a seamless patient journey.”

Robust Billing

Billing is not something your team should spend hours on. With Nextech, you don’t have to. Our ophthalmology solutions enable your team to send out bills quickly, whether they’re to insurance companies or patients. 

Our PM system can also accept all forms of payment, including card-not-present transactions so you can provide patients with flexible payment options. 

“My biller has nothing but praise. Based on a post-go-live follow-up meeting, our rejection rate is down to about 2 percent. With an integrated solution like this, the codes pass directly from EHR to Practice Management as soon as I finalize a note. My biller just takes over from there, which means I don’t have to worry about it.”

Optical Billing Integrations

Ophthalmology practices often offer glasses, contact lenses, and other products, alongside ophthalmology services. Yet not all EHR and PM software can sync up with a payment processor for optical products. 

Thanks to Nextech’s ability to integrate with a wide range of billing technologies, including ones for optical products, your office can offer a smooth billing process. 

When you choose Nextech's ophthalmology PM software, you receive a one-stop shop to store all billing info and other important patient data.

Inventory & POS

If your practice stores glasses, contacts, or other products, it’s important to track inventory and offer patients an intuitive point-of-sale (POS). Nextech’s solution offers both in a user-friendly interface designed for ophthalmology.

Reporting & Analytics

Having a pulse on practice data leads to more in-depth knowledge and strategic decisions. Nextech offers real-time access and helps interpret data and useful insights.

Plus, you can set alerts for the recommendations that matter most to you.

  • Search for a system with easy onboarding
  • Purchase an EHR and PM system from the same company for smoother integration and more accurate data
  • Pay attention to how any systems you consider have improved other practices’ workflows

Wondering how Nextech stacks up? Here’s what happened to three ophthalmology practices after they made the switch: 

  • With Nextech, Boling Vision Center averages 50-75 minutes per patient from check-in to checkout for a dilated eye exam. Before switching, they were averaging 90-120 minutes.
  • Since making the switch, Pima Eye Institute spends 10 minutes less on administrative work per patient. 
  • Eye Care Center of Napa Valley now has a more efficient EHR and PM system and a partner (Nextech’s support team) to troubleshoot any IT issues or answer any questions.
