Comanagement consent form

Obtain informed consent for comanaged surgical care

Patients need to know which care will be delegated to a comanaging optometrist. They must be informed that they may contact the ophthalmologist and return to him for care at any time. OMIC advises ophthalmologists who comanage with community optometrists to ask patients to sign  Consent for comanagement of surgical patients. Ophthalmologists who comanage with optometrists in their own practice should obtain oral consent and document the patient’s agreement in the medical record. Ophthalmologists in Florida should use the FL comanagement consent form to meet the requirements of state law.

Six reasons OMIC is the best choice for ophthalmologists in America.

Consistent return of premium.

Publicly-traded insurance companies exist to make profits for shareholders while physician-owned carriers often return profits to their policyholders. Don’t underestimate this benefit; it can add up to tens of thousands of dollars over the course of your career. OMIC has one of the most generous dividend programs for ophthalmologists and has returned more than $90 Million to our members through dividends.
