What Makes This Template Essential?

Comprehensive Practice Information Capture
Document your practice location, ownership structure, hours of operation, and service offerings with fields tailored to optometry-specific requirements. The form captures everything from basic contact details to specialized services like contact lens fitting, low vision therapy, and pediatric optometry.

Equipment Calibration Tracking
Maintain compliance by documenting all optical equipment, calibration dates, and certification records. Track phoropters, autorefractors, keratometers, tonometers, and other essential diagnostic equipment with built-in fields for serial numbers, last calibration dates, and next service schedules.

Lens Inventory Management
Provide detailed inventory records of your lens stock, including single vision, bifocal, progressive, and specialty lenses. Document your suppliers, inventory volumes, and quality control procedures to demonstrate your practice's readiness to serve patients.

Professional Credentials Verification
Upload and organize all required credentials including optometry licenses, DEA numbers (if applicable), professional liability insurance, continuing education certificates, and specialty certifications. The form ensures you don't miss any critical documentation.

Vision Insurance Contracting
Streamline the insurance paneling process by providing all necessary information for vision insurance contracting, including practice NPIs, tax identification numbers, fee schedules, and network participation preferences.

Smart Conditional Logic for Efficiency
