1) Yes, but there are eligibility criteria: any service connected eye disability, or greater than a certain percentage of total service connected disabilities. Otherwise other Vets can't use these services.
2) Yes and no. Like with hearing aid dispensing (in my area) there are notes and CPT and ICD codes entered, where applicable, but the Optometrists and Audiologists keep separate (Paper!, here in Albany) charts with detailed prosthetic records. Also the Ophthalmologists do keep all of their records in vista, as normal medical records. And since all of the dispensing is on patients with service connected disabiliies, there is no third party billing for it.
