Question: Are the new Electroretinography (ERG) codes bundled together?

Answer: Currently there is no bundle that exists, and payers will not expect to see these codes billed together often. The physician’s documentation should show medical necessity. When code utilization increases, they may be revalued, which often leads to a reduction in reimbursement.
