1.30.18  ATTENTION OBS OFFICEMATE CLINICS:  Please do not update to Version 14 in OfficeMate without talking to OBS first! This was a major upgrade that switched the program from a Visual Basic platform to a .NET platform, and there are TONS of ISSUES.  We are seeing lots of problems with our clinics who already upgraded, and you don’t want these headaches!

TRICARE EAST:  We have no updates yet about how TRICARE East claims are paying. You’ll remember we’re looking to see if doctors are paid more if they’re credentialed directly through TRICARE vs doctors credentialed through the EyeMed TRICARE network. Unfortunately, the new East region is getting off to a slow start. They’re quoting a 30-90 day processing time for electronic claims submissions, so it may be a bit before we have our answer. But we will keep you updated just as soon as the first claims come back for doctors in each credentialing group!
