Article Guidance

Article Text

This Billing and Coding Article provides billing and coding guidance for Local Coverage Determination (LCD) L35038, Scanning Computerized Ophthalmic Diagnostic Imaging. Please refer to the LCD for reasonable and necessary requirements and limitations.

Coding Guidance

Notice: It is not appropriate to bill Medicare for services that are not covered (as described by the entire LCD) as if they are covered. When billing for non-covered services, use the appropriate modifier.

Utilization Parameters

One month is defined as 28 days. No more than one (1) exam per month will be considered medically reasonable and necessary to manage the patient with retinal conditions undergoing active treatment.

CPT code 92132 and 92133 may not be reported more than two (2) times per year. Please refer to the LCD for details on reasonable and necessary guidelines.

CPT code 92134 may not be reported more than one (1) time every two (2) months. Please refer to the LCD for details on reasonable and necessary guidelines.

Documentation Requirements

  1. All documentation must be maintained in the patient's medical record and made available to the contractor upon request.
  2. Every page of the record must be legible and include appropriate patient identification information (e.g., complete name, dates of service[s]). The documentation must include the legible signature of the physician or non-physician practitioner responsible for and providing the care to the patient.
  3. The submitted medical record must support the use of the selected ICD-10-CM code(s). The submitted CPT/HCPCS code must describe the service performed.
