Ophthalmology Revenue Intelligence for Retina, Glaucoma and Cataract
Find retina patients past their injection interval, glaucoma patients overdue for visual fields and OCT, cataract consults that never reached surgery, and diabetic eye exams never completed.
What is ophthalmology revenue intelligence?
Ophthalmology revenue intelligence finds eye care patients who missed the next step their physician planned: retina patients past the anti-VEGF interval their specialist set, glaucoma patients overdue for follow-up and testing, cataract consults with no surgery date, missed post-op visits and diabetic eye exam referrals never seen. Nuvory is healthcare revenue leakage intelligence that ranks them for your schedulers.
Where do eye care patients miss their interval?
Ophthalmology runs on recurring care: injections on an interval, glaucoma testing on a schedule, surgery after a consult. Each one leaks when a single appointment is missed and not rebooked.
Anti-VEGF injection intervals
Retina patients past the interval their retina specialist set, with no injection visit booked.
Learn moreGlaucoma follow-up and testing
Patients overdue for the visit, visual field or OCT their ophthalmologist set.
Learn moreCataract consult to surgery
Patients who had a cataract evaluation and measurements but no surgery date, including second-eye surgery.
Learn moreMissed post-op visits
Post-op visits the surgeon scheduled that were missed and never rebooked.
Learn moreDiabetic eye exam and optometry referrals
Referrals from primary care, endocrinology and optometry that never reached a visit.
Learn moreOpen orders and later procedures
Testing and laser procedures ordered and never scheduled.
Learn moreWhy do retina, glaucoma and cataract patients slip?
They slip because so much eye care is recurring and patient-dependent. A retina specialist may extend or shorten the interval between anti-VEGF injections at every visit, using a treat-and-extend approach or another plan. One missed visit can push a patient well past the interval their specialist intended, and the recall list may not reflect the latest change.
Glaucoma is often symptom-free. Patients feel no different between visits, so missing a visual field or OCT feels harmless to them. Follow-up and testing schedules are set by the ophthalmologist, and a missed visit can lead to a long gap.
Cataract surgery has a consult-to-surgery path with many steps: evaluation, measurements, lens discussion, surgical scheduling, and a post-op schedule. Patients who want to think about lens options or costs may never call back. Second-eye surgery can stall the same way after the first eye goes well.
- Intervals change visit to visit Static recalls fall behind treat-and-extend plans.
- Silent disease Glaucoma patients feel fine and skip testing.
- Elective decisions Cataract patients deciding on lenses or timing need a follow-up conversation.
- Referral loops Diabetic eye exam referrals need both a visit and a report back to the referring provider.

How does ophthalmology revenue intelligence read changing intervals?
Nuvory reads recalls, procedures, testing, surgical orders, appointments and referrals from your EHR every night. It compares each retina patient's last injection with the interval recorded in the chart, checks glaucoma patients' last visit and testing against the schedule set, and matches cataract evaluations to surgical cases. Patients already booked are left off. This is ophthalmology recall software that follows the plan your physicians set, not a fixed rule, and goes further than ophthalmology analytics software that only reports volume.
- Injection history Injection dates by eye and the next interval your retina specialists recorded, where available.
- Testing Visual field and OCT history linked to the follow-up schedule.
- Surgical orders and cases Cataract evaluations, surgical orders, completed cases and post-op appointments.
- Referrals Inbound referrals with no contact after 7 days or no visit after 14, configurable, for ophthalmology referral tracking.
- Claims and HIE (optional) Where connected, they show care received at another practice.
Does Nuvory decide injection intervals?
No. Your retina specialists decide intervals and treatment. Nuvory reads what is recorded and flags patients past due without a booked visit, based on available data. It makes no clinical decisions.
How do retina, glaucoma and surgical schedulers work the list?
Eye practices have specialized schedulers by service. Nuvory gives each one a ranked list.
- Clinical reviewerAn ophthalmologist signs off each rule, including how injection intervals and glaucoma schedules are read, after spot-checking real patients.
- Retina schedulersWork patients past their injection interval first, ranked by urgency, estimated value and confidence.
- Glaucoma and general schedulersWork overdue follow-up and testing, booking the visual field or OCT together with the visit.
- Surgical counselorFollows up with cataract patients who had an evaluation and no surgery date, and second-eye candidates.
- Referral coordinatorWorks diabetic eye exam and optometry referrals with no contact.
- Practice administratorReviews ophthalmology procedure recovery by location and surgeon.

Which ophthalmology metrics matter by service?
Report retina, glaucoma and cataract separately, by location and surgeon. Visits and surgeries completed after detection are compared with your baseline; that is correlation with outreach, not proof of cause.
| Metric | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Injection visits on interval | Retina patients seen within the interval their specialist set. |
| Glaucoma testing on schedule | Visual field and OCT completed on the schedule set. |
| Cataract consult to surgery | Evaluations that reach a completed surgery, by surgeon. |
| Second-eye conversion | First-eye patients who complete planned second-eye surgery. |
| Post-op visits completed | Post-op schedules completed as the surgeon set them. |
| Referral to first visit | Diabetic eye exam and optometry referrals seen. |
Does Nuvory work with ModMed and other ophthalmology EHRs?
Yes. Nuvory works alongside your EHR and imaging devices. It does not read images or device data. If your group runs on ModMed, Nuvory is designed to work with data from ModMed, athenahealth, NextGen and other supported EHRs through FHIR R4 APIs and, where the EHR supports it and your organization enables it, bulk export and SMART on FHIR. athenahealth is live today.
For ModMed and other EHRs, discovery confirms how your practice records injection intervals, eye laterality and testing, which varies widely between groups. Patient data is handled under a BAA; see security.
What should an ophthalmology group ask?
Ask whether a tool reads intervals that change at every visit, separates retina, glaucoma and cataract work, tracks second-eye surgery, and leaves treatment decisions with your physicians.

Questions, answered
More in our FAQ, or ask our team.
Can Nuvory follow treat-and-extend injection plans?
Yes, where the next interval is recorded in the EHR in a structured way. Nuvory reads the latest interval and flags patients past it with no visit booked. Discovery confirms how your practice records intervals.
Does Nuvory track visual fields and OCT?
Yes, where testing appears in the EHR. Nuvory checks glaucoma patients' last testing against the schedule your ophthalmologists set and flags patients overdue without a booked visit. It does not interpret test results.
How does Nuvory help with cataract conversion?
Nuvory finds patients with a cataract evaluation and no surgery date, and first-eye patients with planned second-eye surgery not booked. Surgeons and patients decide on surgery; Nuvory makes sure the follow-up conversation happens.
Does Nuvory handle diabetic eye exam referrals?
Yes. Referrals from primary care and endocrinology are tracked until the patient is seen, with no contact flagged after 7 days and no visit after 14 by default.
Is Nuvory a patient engagement platform for eye care?
No. Nuvory finds which patients need outreach and verifies the outcome. Your texting or reminder vendor can be connected to send messages, and on Growth and Enterprise staff can call from Nuvory.
How is Nuvory priced for an ophthalmology practice?
Starter is $149 per provider per month for Recall Intelligence. Growth is $299 per provider per month and adds Referral, Procedure, Scheduling, Care Management and Opportunity Intelligence. See pricing.
