Why OcuPlan

Between a rock and a hard place

As healthcare demands rise, patients with chronic stable conditions find themselves between a rock and a hard place. Private insurance often excludes cover for monitoring of long-term, potentially sight threatening eye conditions and the NHS is overwhelmed by demand. This results in patients experiencing cancelled appointments, and poor continuity of care.

OcuPlan can solve this by providing affordable and accessible eye care to patients who need regular professional monitoring, and we achieve this through our network of ophthalmologists and optometrists.

How OcuPlan works

Simple for you, affordable for your patients

1
Patients choose their team
Patients choose their ophthalmologist and optometrist from our list of registered professionals, and a care package to suit their medical needs.
2
A defined package of care
The packages include a defined number of consultations each year with a consultant ophthalmologist in their private rooms, and the same number of OCT and visual fields with an optometrist.
3
Automatic payments
When a patient registers they are added to the OcuPlan system with a membership number, so they are instantly searchable at each visit. Logging a record for the visit triggers payment automatically and keeps track of things.

Your fees, your choice
Register with our standard OcuPlan fees, or set your own. Our standard fees are designed to be socially aware and help us to offer patients affordable care packages for a fixed monthly fee.
