Will IrisMed replace my existing staff members?

No. IrisMed is designed to augment and empower your existing team, not replace them. By automating tedious and complex tasks around insurance and quoting, IrisMed frees up your staff to focus on what matters most: providing exceptional patient experience and growing your practice.

My practice management system already has insurance and inventory features. Why do I need IrisMed?

IrisMed acts as a specialized enhancement for your optical sales, tackling complex vision plan details in a way most general PMS insurance features don't. IrisMed instantly deciphers intricate insurance benefits for specific lenses, coatings, and frames, providing precise patient out-of-pocket costs. More importantly, it helps your team uncover often-missed sales opportunities - like premium upgrades or second-pair allowances - right at the point of sale. Think of it as the tool that ensures your dispensary maximizes optical revenue and minimizes quoting errors where your PMS's broader features might not specialize.

How secure is my data with IrisMed?

We understand the critical importance of data security and patient privacy. IrisMed employs robust security measures, including end-to-end encryption and strict access controls, to safeguard all sensitive practice and patient information. We are HIPAA compliant and committed to staying up-to-date with the latest security standards and best practices in the industry to ensure your data is always protected.
