The Work Your Team Does in OD Link, We Staff
What Is OD Link?
OD Link is an optometry practice management and EHR system with an unusual origin: Craig Cutler, OD opened his own cold-start practice, Wasatch Vision Clinic, in 1984 and began building OD Link for it in 1986. Four decades later it is still software written from inside an exam lane, and it shows in the details practices mention: built-in patient texting and email, automated patient entrance forms, interfaces to digital exam equipment, and the flexibility to run on a local server or in the cloud, on PCs, Macs, and iPads at the same time.
OD Link practices tend to be small and independent, and that is exactly where the staffing math bites hardest. When two or three people run the whole front of the practice, one resignation, one maternity leave, or one busy season means benefit checks slip, recall lists go quiet, and claims wait. The software keeps working; the queue does not. That is the gap this service closes.
Where OD Link Practices Lose Time and Money
OD Link holds the chart, but VSP, EyeMed, and the medical payers each keep their own portal. A small front desk bounces between browser tabs while patients wait at the counter.
See the fixEvery December, unused frame and exam allowances vanish. Capturing them takes a calling campaign a two-person office cannot staff on top of a full waiting room.
See the fixExams and materials that were provided, coded, and billed still leak into write-offs when nobody has time to chase the denial or the unpaid balance past the first attempt.
See the fixOne visit, one refraction, two payers with different rules. Split it wrong between the medical and vision plan and the claim denies or underpays, visit after visit.
See the fixWho Is This For?
Independent optometry practices that run on OD Link and feel it every time one person is out: solo ODs whose office manager is also the biller and the optician, husband-and-wife practices, and small offices that chose OD Link precisely because it is personal, flexible software and want support that works the same way.
Front Desk and Patient Records
Our team keeps OD Link records clean and current: new patient setup, demographics, vision and medical insurance entry, and contact details, with the automated patient entrance form data checked against what the patient actually handed you. Accurate records at the front of the visit protect each step downstream, from the benefit check to the claim, and they cost your in-office staff nothing because a remote specialist owns them.
Scheduling and Recall
We manage the OD Link appointment schedule, handle reschedules and cancellations, and prep the next day’s book. Then we work the part small practices rarely get to: recall. Patients a year overdue for an exam, expired eyeglass and contact lens prescriptions, and unused benefits all become call lists our team actually completes, in your practice’s name, so exam slots stop sitting empty.
Patient Texting and Email
OD Link’s built-in texting and email means patient communication lives inside the system instead of a separate app. Our specialists run those queues: confirming appointments, answering routine questions, following up on no-shows, and flagging anything clinical to your staff. Patients get same-day responses; your front desk gets its phone time back. Message handling rules are written into the SOW, so nothing goes out that you have not approved as a template or a policy.
Vision and Medical Eligibility
Before each clinic day, our team verifies both sides of coverage: vision plan eligibility and authorizations from the VSP and EyeMed portals, and medical plan benefits for visits with a medical diagnosis, then documents plan details, copays, and material allowances in OD Link. The two-plan check happens for close to the full schedule, every day, instead of only when the front desk gets a quiet moment.
Prior Authorization
When medical eye care needs payer approval, our specialists prepare and submit the request, document the approval number and date range in OD Link, and track it to closure. For a small practice, the win is not just fewer authorization denials; it is that the OD stops spending evenings on payer portals for the handful of medical cases that need them each month.
Claims Submission and Follow-Up
Dedicated billers submit your vision and medical claims from OD Link, route each visit to the correct plan, and follow up on claim status so submissions do not disappear into payer queues. Denials get worked, corrected, and resubmitted instead of aging into write-offs. You see claims sent, paid, and appealed in a daily report, in whatever format you already use.
Payment Posting and AR
We post insurance and patient payments in OD Link, reconcile them against deposits, send statements, and work the AR aging list on a schedule. Small practices rarely lose money to big dramatic denials; they lose it to balances nobody had time to touch a second time. A remote specialist whose job is the follow-up changes that arithmetic.
Reports and Admin
We keep the administrative undercarriage of the practice moving: production and collections summaries pulled on a calendar, recall list performance, document filing, records requests, and credentialing paperwork support. If your OD Link runs on a local server, we also work within whatever secure remote access process you and your IT support approve; you control the connection, and every session is under a named login.

Book Your 2-Week Free TrialHow Our Teams Train and Go Live on OD Link
OD Link offices are personal, and their workflows are too, so we start by documenting yours: how you schedule, which vision plans you accept, how you word patient texts, and how you like the day’s money reconciled. Your dedicated specialist trains on those SOPs with supervised production before working alone, logs in with a named, auditable OD Link account, not a shared login, and reports production to you every evening: patients verified, recalls called, texts answered, claims sent. A trained backup shadows the account from day one and steps in at no charge when your primary specialist is out.
Why Outsource OD Link Work, and Why Staffingly
In a small practice the same person verifies, bills, and answers texts. Our specialists are trained across the front desk, eligibility, and billing, so one flat-fee seat absorbs the overflow from all of it.
Billing services priced on collections take more as you grow. Our model is a flat weekly fee per dedicated specialist, so every efficiency gain stays with the practice.
Dual vision and medical eligibility, refraction splits, materials allowances, and recall: our eye care teams train on the workflows that make optometry different from general medical billing.
