ST. LOUIS—The American Optometric Association is launching AOACodingToday.com, an online coding subscription service available only to AOA members, through Physician Reimbursement Systems. The Coding Today product is designed to help optometrists accurately bill private and government payers, according to the association.

The AOA-only Coding Today product draws information from eight sources, including ICD-9, CPT, HCPCS, modifiers, associated global information and related LCDs as well as Medicare information. It incorporates up-to-the-minute changes from every source, according to the AOA, and features continuously updated, exclusive AOA notes provided by AOA coding experts.

AOACodingToday.com, available only to AOA members, carries a $349 subscription fee for the first user and $99 for each additional user. “The subscription fee is a small price to pay for accuracy, reliability and ease of use,” said Mark Hennen, OD, chair of the AOA Eye Care Benefits Committee. The subscription includes free tech support and telephone training.
