Why should I make iScreen Vision photoscreening part of my pediatric practice?
Statistics show that, on average, one in every four of your pediatric patients suffers from a vision problem. In addition, up to five percent of all children in the U.S. have an eye abnormality that could lead to amblyopia and result in permanent vision loss or blindness if not detected and treated early. Currently, less than 20 percent of all children have a comprehensive eye exam prior to entering the first grade, and studies show pediatric vision problems have a significant academic, social, and emotional impact on school-age children.
How comprehensive is iScreen Vision photoscreening?
iScreen Vision screens for major amblyogenic risk factors that can lead to permanent vision loss or blindness if not detected early. iScreen Vision also screens for refractive error and other serious eye problems. For a list of screened conditions click here.
At what age can I begin screening?
iScreen Vision can be used to screen children as young as 6 months old. This provides an opportunity to vision screen children far earlier than traditional eye chart exams.
Is iScreen Vision eligible for insurance reimbursement?
Yes. iScreen Vision is eligible for reimbursement by some insurance companies under a Category I CPT Code 99174 (Ocular photoscreening with interpretation and report, bilateral).
What does iScreen Vision cost?
Because iScreen Vision has a low per screen fee, many parents can elect iScreen Vision screening for their child regardless of insurance coverage.
What about unforeseen costs such as technical set-up or increased staff time?
The small hand-held camera is portable and requires nothing more than an Ethernet connection and a standard electrical outlet for transmission – allowing it to quickly become part of your current practice. iScreen Vision is easily administered by staff and takes only seconds to capture the eye image – making it a fast and simple addition to pre-exam. Total time per patient, including entering information and transmission, is less than 3 minutes.
Does iScreen Vision require special training?
No. If you can operate a point and shoot digital camera, you can operate the iScreen Vision Screener 3000. iScreen Vision offers both on-site and remote training to help customers easily incorporate iScreen Vision into their daily practice.
How do I receive results for my files each time I use iScreen Vision?
You receive results and images by email. To streamline workflow, iScreen Vision also securely stores and maintains patient data and images at iScreen Vision Central Analysis for easy future retrieval.
