ABB OneBill

What ABB OneBill does

ABB OneBill is a consolidated billing service and optical buying group for independent optometry practices in the United States, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ABB Optical Group. The company was founded in 1984 as Primary Eyecare Network (PEN) and rebranded to ABB OneBill in April 2021 to align with its parent's brand architecture. Its core product is a consolidated billing platform that aggregates purchases from 100+ vendor partners — covering frames, contact lenses, laboratory services, equipment, ophthalmic products, and business services — into a single monthly statement per member practice, with members accessing statements and payments via an online portal and a phone-based customer success team.

The platform's vendor roster includes premier optical suppliers such as Luxottica, Hoya, CooperVision, Bausch + Lomb, Johnson & Johnson Vision, Alcon, and Marcolin, alongside ABB Optical Group entities (ABB Analyze, ABB Contact Lens, ABB Labs, ABB Verify). Beyond billing, ABB OneBill has extended into adjacent member services including ABB Educate (annual Billing & Coding training with John McGreal, O.D., plus a Quick Start Training Program), a publications and office forms catalog (CMS 1500 Claim Forms, customized Medicare Fee Schedules, consent forms), and a medical billing partnership with Knack RCM (formerly CS EYE/Compliance Specialists, Inc.) for credentialing, compliance, chart reviews, and audit assistance.

The business model is usage-based with no base membership fee: ABB OneBill charges a service fee percentage on each member's monthly purchases through the platform, with the percentage declining as practice billing volume rises. Secondary revenue streams include a 2.5% fee on credit card payments and unit-priced sales of publications and forms. The go-to-market combines direct sales through phone-based customer success and website sign-up with a channel partner model in which 100+ optical vendors refer their existing practice customers to ABB OneBill. The addressable customer base consists entirely of independent optometry practices across the United States.

Revenue model

1. Service Fee Revenue: ABB OneBill charges a service fee percentage based on monthly purchases made by member practices. The percentage can decrease as practices maximize their monthly total billings through the platform. This creates a tiered, usage-based revenue stream tied to transaction volume.
2. Publications and Office Forms Sales: Sale of optometric office forms and reference materials including CMS 1500 claim forms, consent forms, exam forms, Medicare fee schedules, and treatment sheets. Members receive discounted pricing while non-members pay list price.
3. Credit Card Processing Fee: A 2.5% fee is charged for payments made by credit card, providing additional transaction-based revenue.
