Bilateral Test Performed with Pathology Only in One Eye
Question: The doctor performed an extended ophthalmoscopy bilaterally and determined the patient has central serous in the left eye only; no pathology in the right eye. Can we still bill for the right eye test since it was performed?
Answer: To submit CPT code 92225 Extended ophthalmoscopy, pathology must be present in the eye. This code requires a drawing indicating the patient’s anatomy and pathology. Only submit the left eye for payment.
