On Saturday, June 22, the Florida Society of Ophthalmology (FSO) presented annual society awards to members during its Annual Business Meeting. Awardees were recognized for leadership, community service, and innovation in the field of ophthalmology.

Great news FSO members! If you missed the webinar on Tuesday evening, May 21, 2024, led by Dr. Rishi P. Singh on Optimizing Real-World Outcomes in Wet AMD: Reducing the Burden of Treatment with Longer-Acting Therapies, you still have the opportunity to watch and claim credit. The recording will be available to watch through August 19.

The Florida Lions Eye Clinic is looking for ophthalmologists around the state that are interested in volunteering to provide free eye care to needy children and families in Florida. The commitment is at your discretion--you decide on how many patients you would like to see a month.

Forms

There has been a recent change in the Florida law regarding co-management of patients. The new law took effect on July 1, 2013. The Florida Society of Ophthalmology (FSO) and its general counsel have worked closely with OMIC to develop two sample forms to aid you in compliance with the new law.

Crosswalks between ICD-9 lists of covered diagnoses for certain services and the comparable ICD-10 diagnoses were imperfect in some LCDs, such as the Visual Field Testing LCD.  First Coast Service Options was made aware of this problem and corrected the disparities with assistance provided by the FSO Third Party Liaison Committee.
