Diabetic Retinopathy
Fundus Camera Eye Exam
Diabetes & Retinopathy
Diabetic Retinopathy is an eye condition that can cause vision loss and blindness in people who have diabetes and can only be identified with a fundus camera during a diabetic retina exam (DRE).
95% of Medicare Advantage plan members with diabetes were monitored for kidney disease1
Only 52% of diabetes patients in the managed security service provider (MSSP) ACO program was documented to have had a diabetes eye exam1
By implementing eye exams, PCP and Medicare Advantage plans can bring STAR/HEDIS compliant eye exams to patients at the point-of-care

Diabetic Retinopathy is the most common cause of vision loss for people with diabetes.
Center for Disease Control and Prevention
The Fundus Eye Exam. A fundus camera should not be confused with an ophthalmoscope eye exam. 50% of diabetic patients lack documentation of a true retinal eye exam, which requires a specific medical device known as a fundus camera. The primary reasons may be due to the lack of access but most health plans and physician groups are interested in bringing HEDIS compliant eye exams directly to the patient. Consolidating this exam in a primary care clinic saves time, co-pays, and frustration. Our new technology can allow you to have a comprehensive retinal exam (without the use of dilating drops) and complete the exam in about 2-minutes from start to finish.
A fundus eye exam is critical to preventing and treating eye conditions that could potentially lead to vision loss like:
Diabetic retinopathy
High blood pressure
Macular degeneration
Retinal detachment
Glaucoma
Eye tumors
More than 2 in 5 Americans with diabetes have some stage of diabetic retinopathy
There are NO symptoms in the early stages of the disease
95% of vision loss can be prevented with early detection
50% of Americans with diabetes are not tested for Diabetic Retinopathy
Primary Care Providers
Annual retinal exams are included in the NCQA HEDIS ratings program, the Medicare Advantage STAR quality rating program and Medicare quality rating programs. By offering diabetic patients an on-the-spot retinal exam as part of their routine visit, PCPs can potentially qualify for financial incentives under these programs. Patients no longer need to have their eyes dilated or make separate appointments with eye care specialists. With these services available in PCP offices, patients have a more convenient way to get their annual retinal exam performed.
We offer PCPs a turn-key solution that includes an easy to operate retinal camera, training for your staff and diagnostic reports interpreted by board certified ophthalmologists.
Greater focus on preventive medicine and early disease detection
Compliance with quality standards
Unlock HEDIS bonuses
Minimal impact on patient flow
Health Systems
As part of the value-based care framework, reimbursement is now tied directly to patient care. Proactive and preventative care, especially for chronic diseases such as diabetes has become a critical component for health systems and providers. As such, these organizations are directly accountable for improving patient outcomes and quality.
Our tele-retinal screening solution makes it easy for health systems and providers to implement large-scale, highly accessible screening programs in a more cost-effective manner than traditional face-to-face encounters.
Make better use of clinical and ophthalmologist resources
Improve screening compliance rates
Measurable improvements in HEDIS quality measures
Reduce healthcare costs
Health Insurance Plans
For health insurance plans, closing gaps in care for people living with diabetes remains a critical priority. The high cost of treatment for diabetic eye disease has a major impact on a health plan’s profitability.
Our mobile screening service offers a proven approach to closing gaps in care for diabetic eye exams as well as A1c/blood sugar, kidney disease monitoring and colorectal cancer screening. We ensure that your diabetic members, particularly the most non-compliant segment of your population, receive the appropriate preventive screenings in the comfort of their home or at organized health fair events.
Our mobile screening solution improves HEDIS scores and STAR ratings and lowers costs through better disease detection and care management.
Increase HEDIS scores & STAR ratings
Reduce risk of patient chronic disease progression
Better clinical and quality outcomes
Improve member satisfaction & retention
Reduce health costs & unlock bonus incentives
