A specialty Optometry and Ophthalmology practice faced a significant challenge when a major payer proposed splitting their consolidated fee schedule into two separate ones. Realizing this would result in a 30% reduction in reimbursements to optometrists, they engaged with Aroris to achieve a better outcome. Our data-driven analysis revealed that the payer had been under-reimbursing the clinic relative to market averages. We built a compelling case to maintain the consolidated fee schedule. After 18 weeks of persistent negotiation, we not only avoided revenue cuts, but secured an 11.3% increase for the practice.

Just when independent specialty practices thought things couldn’t get any tougher, the final 2025 Medicare Fee Schedule delivers yet another round of cuts—threatening financial stability and making it even harder to provide quality care. This year’s schedule includes: ?? A 2.8% Carry-Over Cut from 2021 ?? A 4th consecutive year of Clinical Labor Cuts, reducing RVUs for office-based specialists by another 4% At Aroris, we know cuts like these don’t just impact patient care—they put the business livelihood of specialty practices at risk. Meanwhile, payers continue to post record profits. We’re proud of our proven track record in helping our clients secure higher reimbursement rates through data-driven negotiation. Now more than ever, standing up for fair, sustainable payments is mission critical.

There’s no time like the present to future-proof your practice. Taking a proactive approach to managing your relationships with payers is critical to every practice’s long term financial well-being.
