Optimizing Your AMT Workflow
Streamline patient selection, procedure setup, and post-procedure follow-up for amniotic membrane therapy.
No special scheduling required
AMT applications fit within a standard 20–30 minute exam slot. No procedure room, no surgical scheduling, no anesthesia coordination. Flag AMT patients in your scheduling system so staff can confirm product availability before the visit.
Product preparation takes 2 minutes
Eclipse Aurora and Tetra are room-temperature — no preparation needed. Assign this to a trained technician.
5–10 minutes at the slit lamp
Patient counseling (5 min) + application (5–10 min) + post-procedure instructions (5 min). The application itself is the shortest part of the visit. Most of the time is patient education and documentation.
Day 5–7: assess and document
Follow-up visits are brief — assess re-epithelialization, remove BCL if Eclipse was used, document outcome, and plan continuation of care. Most patients are discharged at this visit.
Everyone has a role.
| Role | Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| Front desk | Schedule AMT visits with follow-up; flag for product check; confirm insurance if applicable |
| Technician | Pre-visit product preparation; patient counseling support; post-procedure instruction sheet distribution |
| Clinician | Patient selection; application; documentation; follow-up assessment |
| Billing | CPT 65778/65779 coding; documentation review; prior auth if required |
