CHICAGO, IL – Kids Vision for Life St. Louis recently selected RevCycle Partners, a revenue cycle management company, to help manage its Medicaid billing claims and credential its optometrists.

The nonprofit provides no-cost vision services to underserved students in the St. Louis, Missouri, area. Through its insurance billing and credentialing services, RevCycle Partners ensures that Kids Vision for Life St. Louis is properly reimbursed for its services.

“RevCycle has partnered with us to ensure underserved children get the education they deserve,” says JJ Scarbrough, Executive Director of Kids Vision for Life St. Louis. “We are elated to work with their team.

“Their expertise in billing and, more specifically, Medicaid billing, is vital to the sustainability of our expanding program.”

Kids Vision for Life St. Louis serves more than 40,000 students in the St. Louis area with vision services. The program removes the financial burden from the parents by keeping services at no cost for all students involved. At more than 150 elementary, middle, and high schools, students receive vision screenings, eye exams, and prescription glasses. High-quality eyecare is critical for their success in and outside of the classroom.

“Kids Vision for Life St. Louis has a mission that is easy to get behind,” says Paul Hartge, CEO of RevCycle Partners. “We are pleased to be able to assist them in a small way by making sure they are properly reimbursed for the services they are delivering to the community.”

Much of the billing for the vision services is done through Medicaid, which is often complex to navigate. RevCycle Partner’s revenue cycle management expertise in eyecare allows the nonprofit to focus its energy on its mission to serve students.

RevCycle Partners is one of the largest providers of insurance billing and credentialing services in the optometry industry. The company serves hundreds of practices across the United States on all the major software platforms with its billing, credentialing, and eligibility services. RevCycle Partners was cofounded by Hartge and Christine Schneider, Executive VP of Operations in 2018.
