Why OcuPlan
A nationwide network of ophthalmologists and optometrists
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 sight-threatening conditions such as stable glaucoma and the NHS can be overwhelmed by demand. This results in patients experiencing cancelled appointments, and no 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.
My Patients
Which patients are suitable?
Patients who are previously diagnosed by an ophthalmologist and in the monitoring phase are suitable for OcuPlan include those with some or all of the following conditions:
- Stable glaucoma and glaucoma suspects
- Ocular hypertension
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
- Diabetic retinopathy
How it works
Simple for you, affordable for your patients
1Patients choose a care package
Patients choose one of three OcuPlan care packages based on their eye care needs, and can pay using interest-free monthly instalments at no extra cost.
2Accessible private care
Spreading the cost makes private eye care accessible and affordable for patients who otherwise may not be able to afford it.
3Consultations in private rooms
Each package includes a defined number of consultations each year with a consultant ophthalmologist in their private rooms.
4Tests in your practice
The same number of OCT and visual field tests are performed by an OcuPlan registered optometrist, in their practice.
Meet your peers
“Patients love the fact that they can come to their own practice for OCT and field screening, and it also attracts patients who come from other practices too. It’s a great added service to offer, making good use of our equipment, and gives us a direct link to the consultants.”
