...I have owned my Veatch ReSeeVit 5V Digital Imaging System since January, 2007. Our purchase was made based on three different factors.

First and foremost, the capability of photo-documentation to treat and follow anterior segment pathology makes me a much better practitioner. My patients’ well-being is best served by this fact.

Secondly, the clear digital image benefits the patients by affording them a far better understanding of their condition and therefore making them much more apt to remain compliant with their given treatment regimen. Although it is not a requirement, we obtained a large screen monitor to enlarge the image many times and accentuate this advantage as well as create a large “wow” factor.

Lastly, with the ability to bill for this procedure, one can increase office revenues significantly with no additional cost or materials involved.

Here’s our actual numbers:

We billed 316 photos in 2007, 419 in 2008, and 423 in 2009. As the first quarter of 2010 comes to a close we have billed 117 images and we still have one week left. Being conservative with reimbursement figures, if I was paid $39 for each photo, I generated $12,324 in 2007, $16,341 in 2008 $16, 496 in 2009, and so far in 2010, $4563. That is a conservative total of $49,275 since we accepted delivery of our imaging system. I don’t know of any practice that can afford to miss out on such a large amount of revenues. My system has been paid for many times over .
