Coding references
Ophthalmology: the codes and the rules.
Three tables for a eye care practice, each one a coder can check against the 2025 CMS and ICD-10-CM files, and the notes that come up every week.
The tables.
The notes a coder repeats.
- Eye visit codes (92002-92014) and E/M codes (99202-99215) are both available; the practice picks one set per visit based on the documentation.
- Cataract surgery carries a 90-day global; the co-managing optometrist bills 66984 with modifier 55 and the surgeon with modifier 54 when care is split.
- Intravitreal injections are reported per eye with RT or LT; the drug is a separate J-code.
Other specialties.
A receptionist that knows eye care calls.
Screening forms your clinicians approve, the on-call paged with answers, and every call booked or handed back as a task.
