Background

Star Retina struggled with complex scheduling, manual insurance checks, and workflow bottlenecks from legacy software systems. To proactively clear these bottlenecks, Practice Manager Heather Gleason led a solutions-focused approach and transitioned the practice to the all-in-one ModMed® platform. By replacing manual tasks with automated eligibility checks, built-in system faxing, and iPad-based digital consents, Star Retina reduced administrative friction, improved coordination between billing and front-office staff, and enhanced the patient experience.

Heather Gleason shared their results:

5–7 min reduction in patient check-in time

20%–25% reduction in scheduling errors

4–6 administrative hours saved weekly
