TechStack
Built for optometry & vision practices

Your patients have $240 of unused benefits.
Most have no idea.

Optometry patient retention software tracks each patient's VSP, EyeMed, or Davis Vision benefit year — frame allowance, contact lens benefit, exam window — and drafts personalized outreach when it's about to reset. It also handles annual exam recall, contact supply re-orders, and the highest-converting Q4 expiration campaign in the practice.

Three things no other tool in the category does: Book Value (your practice priced as an asset), Drift Radar (per-patient drift detection on personal rhythm), and Voice Training. HIPAA-compliant, BAA included. Source-of-truth integration with Eyefinity, RevolutionEHR, Crystal PM, MaximEyes.

The benefit-year clock

Four cadences, all on different timers.

Annual exam, frame allowance, contact supply, and benefit-year reset — each on its own clock. The engine watches all four per patient.

Annual eye exam
12 months

Per-patient anniversary from last exam date. Fire at month 11 to land before the next year's calendar fills.

Frame allowance
24 months (most plans)

VSP/EyeMed typically allow new frames every other year. Track to the exact reset date by plan, not generic.

Contact supply
10–12 months

Re-order reminder at month 10. References last brand, quantity, and Rx — not 'we miss you'.

Benefit-year reset
Dec 31 (most)

Q4 expiration campaign starts Oct 1. The single highest-converting cadence in optometry.

"Hi Jennifer — Dr. Patel's office. Quick heads-up: you have $240 of VSP frame benefits still available, and they reset on December 31. We've got new arrivals from Maui Jim and Lindberg in this month. Want me to set up a Saturday appointment? — Marisol"

"Hi Marcus — you should have a few weeks of Acuvue Oasys 1-Day left from last September's order. Want me to put the same 12-month supply on order so it arrives before you run out? Same Rx, free standard shipping. Just reply YES and I'll handle it."

Every message references the patient's actual benefit data, last purchase, and Rx — never generic. You approve, tweak, and send from your own system. We never message on your behalf.

Trained on what you actually run

Speaks vision insurance, not 'business in general.'

It knows VSP plan years differ by employer. It knows EyeMed has separate frame and contact benefits with separate reset dates. It knows Davis Vision allowances by group. You don't have to teach it.

Carrier & benefit tracking

  • VSP (Vision Service Plan)
    Plan-year tracking by employer group. Frame allowance ($150–$250 typical). Lens enhancement coverage. Contact lens allowance separate.
  • EyeMed
    Independent frame vs contact lens benefit tracks. In-network vs out-of-network allowance. Plan-year vs calendar-year by employer.
  • Davis Vision
    Tiered network frame allowances. Material co-pay tracking. Lens-only vs full-package benefit windows.
  • Spectera / Superior Vision
    Specialty plan tracking. UHC and Anthem-integrated vision benefits handled separately.
  • Self-pay & FSA
    Patients without vision insurance flagged for FSA/HSA reminder campaigns in Q4 (frames + Rx sunglasses are FSA-eligible).

Operator intelligence

  • Per-OD scorecards
    Multiple ODs in the practice — each with their own patient book, exam pace, and rebook rate. Role-fair benchmarks.
  • Q4 campaign auto-scheduling
    Benefit-expiration sequence starts Oct 1 automatically. Tiered urgency: 60 days out, 30 days out, 14 days out. Stops firing once patient books.
  • Contact supply revenue
    Re-order reminders at month 10 of a 12-month supply. References specific brand, quantity, and Rx. Conversion 22–35% on the first message.
  • Cross-sell that isn't pushy
    Frame buyers ready for Rx sunglasses. Annual-exam patients due for retinal imaging. The engine knows pairings that convert in optometry without feeling salesy.
  • Source-of-truth booking
    Never holds calendar locks. Re-reads your Eyefinity / RevolutionEHR / Crystal PM availability live before every write. Audit-logged with 7-year retention.

Optometry FAQ

The questions every OD asks.

01 How much unused vision benefit is sitting in a typical optometry practice's patient book?
+
A typical 2,000-patient VSP-network practice has $180K–$340K of unused frame allowance and exam benefits sitting dormant at any given time. Most patients don't track their benefit year. Practices that run a structured Q4 benefit-expiration campaign typically book 14-18% of contacted dormant patients before December 31.
02 Does Retention IQ work with VSP, EyeMed, and Davis Vision?
+
Yes. We integrate with the optometry PMS systems that already store carrier and benefit data — Eyefinity (VSP-owned), RevolutionEHR, Crystal PM, MaximEyes, OfficeMate, and Compulink. The PMS already runs eligibility verifications and stores annual frame allowance, contact lens benefit, and exam date. We read that data via CSV export or direct integration; nothing changes on the eligibility-verification side.
03 How does the booking integration work without disrupting our schedule?
+
Retention IQ never holds calendar locks. Every booking attempt re-reads your booking system live before writing, uses idempotency keys so retries can't duplicate, and is logged to an immutable 7-year audit trail. Your front desk wins every race because they're writing directly to the source of truth and our system has to re-verify first. See the architecture diagram at /trust/no-double-booking.
04 Is Retention IQ HIPAA compliant for optometry practices?
+
Yes. We sign a BAA before any patient data moves. PHI is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Access is audit-logged with 7-year retention. Outreach messages never reference specific procedure codes, prescription details, or medical conditions — they reference 'your annual exam' or 'your frame benefit' in patient-friendly language.
05 What about contact lens supply re-orders?
+
Contact lens patients drift differently than eyeglass patients. We track each patient's annual contact supply purchase pattern (typical 12-month supply, sometimes 6-month) and fire a re-order reminder at month 10. Conversion to a re-order varies by practice but typically runs 22-35% within 30 days of the message — substantially better than generic recall emails because the message references the specific brand and quantity they ordered last time.

Built for clinical practices from day one.

Patient data is PHI. We sign a BAA before any of it moves. Infrastructure: AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, audit-logged access with 7-year retention. Outreach messages never reference Rx details, procedure codes, or clinical findings — they reference 'your benefits,' 'your annual exam,' 'your contacts.'
