Non-Incisional Procedures: Independently perform and bill for minor
office interventions within the California optometric scope, including
punctal plug insertions, mechanical epilation for trichiasis,

injections for chronic chalazia.

Oculoplastic Surgical Pipeline Support: Identify, screen, and refer
appropriate surgical candidates (e.g., dermatochalasis, symptomatic
ectropion/entropion, ptosis, lid lesions, ) directly to our
oculoplastic surgical schedules.

Compliance & Documentation: Maintain highly accurate, timely
electronic medical records (EHR) documentation and ensure all medical
billing is submitted in full compliance with current Medicare and
commercial PPO guidelines.
