Let’s face it. Relying on your patients to recall their medical history may not always prove accurate. Using our Patient Health Information tool makes this process a little easier.
When you see patients covered by Blue View Vision and an affiliated Anthem or Empire medical plan*, you can validate medical data relevant to vision care in an easy to access and secure environment. We’re making this information available so that all network doctors can collaborate on our member’s care. (For example, you’ll see when medications have been prescribed by other doctors, and diagnoses that you submit with your claim will be visible to the patient’s primary care physician.) This kind of virtual collaboration can also help identify potential gaps in care so those gaps can be closed faster.
In-network providers can submit feedback on patient care gaps, enter diagnoses, and record patient vitals—all supporting whole person care. Every in-network health care provider participating in that patient’s care will have the most up-to-date information.
The Patient Health Information tool is located on the Member Details page within the EyeMed claims system. Use it to see what medications your patient may be taking, view recent diagnoses or lab test results, check care alerts, enter patient vitals, close care gaps, provide care alert feedback and more.

Why use it? Patient Health Information can save you time and give you a better view of your patients' overall health, which can help you diagnose more effectively.
Who benefits? Both you and your patients benefit because access to valuable health information can help you make more informed decisions.
When is the right time to use it? Any time you see a Blue View Vision member who is also covered by one of our Anthem or Empire medical plans. You can check to see if there is health information available any time you log in to the online portal—for example, when verifying eligibility.
Where can you find it? The Patient Health Information tool is located in the EyeMed claims system. It will automatically open in a new window when checking a patient’s eligibility or entering a claim. If you accidentally close the window, you will still have ability to click the button to view that same patient’s data without having to start a new search.
What information will you see? When there is health information available, you will see relevant data that may include prescription medications, recent diagnoses, care alerts and lab test results. We'll also let you know if the patient is enrolled in one of our care management programs. In-network providers are able to submit feedback on patient care gaps, enter diagnoses, and record patient vitals—all supporting whole-person care.
