Using Modifiers with ICG and FA
Question: Since payment for 92235 Fundus photography, 92240 ICG and 92242 Combined FA and ICG is now bilateral instead of unilateral, should we append either modifier -RT or -LT, or modifier -52 showing reduced services?
Answer: Unless the specific payer states to do so in writing, the answer is no. No modifier is necessary. These codes have the same allowable whether one or both eyes are tested and include the language unilateral or bilateral.
