Mobile Glaucoma Service, Inc. is a Florida corporation that provides statewide, in-office objective diagnostic ophthalmic medical imaging to member doctors. We provide state of the art Fourier domain (spectral domain) optical coherence tomography (OCT) looking at the anatomy of a variety of eye structures. This revolutionary technology is so quick that eye movement artifacts are a thing of the past, and it provides high definition tomographs to the point of being able to detect damage to internal photoreceptors.
We are able to provide 3-D imaging and we can view the cornea, angle, retina, and optic nerve. There is disease-specific software which allows the doctor to "map" the ganglion cell complex (GCC) around the macular area for accurate and repeatable glaucoma diagnosis and its progression. As the technology changes and upgrades, our company invests in these upgrades without further costs to our member doctors.
Due to federal and state rules and regulations, we can provide services only to contracted licensed physicians. Mobile Glaucoma Service, Inc. leases our employee and equipment to the doctor's facility on a pre-determined schedule. The doctor is always responsible for the final interpretation of the data collected and provided to him or her. Member doctors do not pay for services for any particular patient but rather, contract for services provided during a three-hour time block known as a "Session." The doctor's office signs two leasing contracts, an "equipment lease" contract and an "employee lease" contract, and these leases provide for the actual number of Sessions that will be provided to the account during the one year contract term. Either Mobile Glaucoma Service, Inc. or the member doctor can cancel the contract without penalty with sixty (60) days' notice.
Doctors can elect to have either a morning or afternoon Session and some offices prefer to have our services all day (six hours) that would be accounted for as two Sessions. Mobile Glaucoma Service makes every effort to accommodate our member doctors' preferences for when Sessions are provided.
