For Optometrists interested in Co-Management

Comanagement typically plays out as follows:

After the patient has had surgery and is seen for their 1 day post operative exam, the surgeon, if deemed medically appropriate will perform a formal transfer-of-care to the comanaging optometrist. A separate letter for each eye will be sent to your office regarding this transfer of care. The patient then follows up with you for their postoperative care shortly thereafter.

A copy of your note on your initial visit must be filled out and sent to the surgeon’s office for record-keeping.  A comanaging provider gives postoperative care relating to the surgery at no extra charge up to 90 days after the surgery. Unrelated complaints may still be billed or charged.
