Why should my PCP or Endocrinology practice screen for Diabetic Retinopathy?

Diabetic Retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in adults with diabetes. Early detection through annual retinal exams can prevent up to 90% of vision loss. Screening also improves HEDIS and CMS Star Ratings under the Diabetes Eye Exam (EED) measure.

Why not just buy an autonomous AI diabetic retinopathy screening tool?

Autonomous AI tools can flag possible disease from a retinal image, but they usually stop at the algorithm output. Primary care buyers typically still need: A workflow that fits the visit — capture during the appointment, not a separate tool Licensed eye-specialist interpretation when payers or protocols require a clinical read Structured reports that support HEDIS Diabetes Eye Exam (EED), Medicare Star, and ECDS-ready quality reporting Multi-site deployment — pooled credits, add-on site licenses, optional camera lease CarePlus by HealthOcta is built for that full clinic workflow: in-office non-mydriatic imaging, secure routing, specialist review, and reportable documentation — not image classification alone.

Why should a clinic choose CarePlus over a point solution?

Point solutions often solve one step — camera, AI, or reading — but leave the clinic to stitch together workflow, billing, quality reporting, and multi-site operations. CarePlus is designed for easier adoption across primary care sites: Standard Software — $300/month (12 screening credits, one site license) for clinics with existing cameras Enhanced Software — $500/month (20 credits, one site license) for higher volume Complete Bundle — $700/month ($300 software + $400/month camera lease) when hardware is needed $25 per additional screening credit; $100/month per additional site 90-day credit rollover on unused prepaid credits — credits pool across licensed sites Fixed subscription fees — not a percentage of your clinical reimbursement

What is the business case for CarePlus?

For primary care and multi-site groups, the business case is operational and quality-driven: Close care gaps in the visit: Complete diabetic eye exams during routine diabetes appointments instead of relying on separate ophthalmology follow-through Move quality measures: Documented screenings support HEDIS EED and Medicare Star performance Support value-based contracts: Structured, reportable completion data for payer and ACO quality programs Capture appropriate screening revenue: Bill in-clinic where payer rules allow (e.g., CPT 92227/92228) Predictable platform cost: Published subscriptions from $300–$700/month plus per-credit overage — not a rev-share on clinical fees CarePlus is a platform by HealthOcta Inc — workflow, specialist routing, and reporting infrastructure; your clinic retains control of orders, billing, and follow-up.

When is CarePlus a better fit than a remote AI-only screening vendor?

CarePlus is typically the better fit when the buyer is evaluating clinic deployment, not just model accuracy on a benchmark dataset. Choose CarePlus when you need: Staff workflow and training for in-office capture during primary care visits Licensed ophthalmologist or optometrist interpretation with structured clinical reports Quality-program documentation — HEDIS, Star, ECDS-ready structured data Multi-site rollout — pooled credits, $100/month add-on sites, optional $400/month camera lease via Complete Bundle Predictable pricing and a 90-day pilot opt-out on bundled plans (terms apply) AI-only vendors may win on algorithm demos alone. CarePlus wins when the decision includes staffing, specialist review, payer reporting, and day-to-day clinic operations.

Is AI cheaper or more efficient than an eye doctor reading every retinal image?

Yes — for raw screening throughput, AI is usually faster and lower marginal cost than having a human eye specialist read every image. But throughput is not the same as a complete primary care workflow. When immediacy at the point of care matters: CarePlus can provide an AI-assisted, risk-based assessment so staff and clinicians get a same-visit signal while the patient is still in clinic. When reliability and downstream cost matter: CarePlus routes images to licensed eye specialists (board-certified ophthalmologists or optometrists) for asynchronous interpretation. That approach reduces false-positive noise, unnecessary urgent referrals, and follow-up burden — costs that pure AI-only screening can create when sensitivity is tuned aggressively. Practical summary for buyers: Want a fast first-pass result during the visit → AI-assisted triage can help Want a defensible clinical read and quality documentation → specialist interpretation and structured reporting Want both → CarePlus supports a workflow-first model: capture in primary care, AI where it adds speed, specialist reads where clinical interpretation and reporting matter HealthOcta provides the CarePlus technology platform and workflow; independent specialists perform clinical interpretation. Your clinic remains the treating provider.

What are CarePlus monthly subscription plans for diabetic retinopathy screening?

Published list pricing for in-office diabetic retinopathy screening with CarePlus: Standard Software — $300/month: 12 screening credits per month, one site license. For clinics with an existing fundus camera. Enhanced Software — $500/month: 20 screening credits per month, one site license. For higher-volume primary care sites. Complete Bundle — $700/month: Standard software ($300/month) plus fundus camera lease ($400/month). For clinics starting without hardware. Additional screenings: $25 per credit. Additional sites: $100/month each. Credits can be pooled across licensed sites with up to 90-day rollover on unused prepaid credits.

Can we lease the fundus camera instead of buying it outright?

Yes. The Complete Bundle includes a non-mydriatic fundus camera lease at $400/month for 24 months, avoiding a typical $10,000–$20,000 capital purchase. After the initial lease term, clinics may continue month-to-month at $300/month or return the device per agreement. Bundled plans include a 90-day opt-out window to validate workflow before a long-term commitment. Terms and conditions apply, including device return requirements.

How do screening credits work across multiple clinic sites?

CarePlus base plans include 12 or 20 screening credits per month with one site license. Credits are pooled across licensed sites, so multi-location groups can use volume where patients are seen instead of losing credits at a single facility. Each additional site is $100/month. Extra completed screenings are $25 per credit. Unused prepaid credits roll over for up to 90 days.

Isn’t this something that specialists should do? Why do it here?

Many patients never make it to an ophthalmologist or optometrist for annual screenings. PCPs and endocrinology clinics see these patients much more often—making office-based DR screening a realistic way to catch disease early and close care gaps, preventing disease progression and vision loss.
