External Photos with Specular Microscopy Camera
What is the correct CPT code for photos that are taken of the external eye with a confocal specular microscopy endothelial cell count camera?
Answer:
Use external ocular photography with interpretation (CPT code 92285) and report for documentation of medical progress (e.g., close-up photography, slit lamp photography, gonio photography or stereophotography) or consider the unlisted CPT code 92499 if the workflow is more extensive than that code. Confirm diagnosis code coverage with the payer.
