Unilateral Contact Lens Fit
CPT 92072 (fitting of contact lens for keratoconus) has a bilateral surgery indicator of “2” in Medicare’s database. Is it correct not to use modifier -50 and if one eye is fitted, use modifier -52?
Effective April 1, 2012, payment for 92072 is inherently bilateral. It is not appropriate to use any additional modifiers.
