3 Agenda Eye Exam Codes vs. E/M Codes Diagnostic Testing Procedures Surgical Procedures 2017 ICD-10 Updates 3
4 Eye Exam Codes New Patients Ophthalmological services: medical examination and evaluation with initiation of diagnostic and treatment program; intermediate Ophthalmological services: medical examination and evaluation with initiation of diagnostic and treatment program; comprehensive, one or more visits Established Patients Ophthalmological services: medical examination and evaluation, with initiation or continuation of diagnostic and treatment program; intermediate Ophthalmological services: medical examination and evaluation, with initiation or continuation of diagnostic and treatment program; comprehensive, one or more visits 4
5 Intermediate Intermediate vs. Comprehensive (92002 or 92012) Evaluation of a new or existing condition Not necessarily relating to the primary diagnosis History General Medical Examination External ocular and adnexal exam Other diagnostic procedures as indicated May include mydriasis for ophthalmoscopy Eye Exams Comprehensive (92004 or 92014) General evaluation of the complete visual system Does not need to be performed at one session History General Medical Examination External Examination Ophthalmoscopic Examination Gross Visual Fields Basic Sensorimotor Evaluation Optional Components, as Indicated: Biomicroscopy Exam with cycloplegia or mydriasis Tonometry Initiation of diagnostic and treatment programs Prescription of medication Arranging for special ophthalmological, diagnostic or treatment services Consultations Laboratory procedures Radiological services Carriers may add additional requirements or exceptions Continued... 5
6 Examples Intermediate History, external examination, ophthalmoscopy, biomicroscopy for an acute complicated condition (e.g. iritis) not requiring comprehensive ophthalmological services Interval history, external examination, ophthalmoscopy, biomicroscopy and tonometry in established patient with known cataract not requiring comprehensive ophthalmological services Comprehensive Diagnosis and treatment of a patient with symptoms indicating possible disease of the visual system, such as Glaucoma Cataract Retinal disease, or To rule out disease of the visual system New or established patient Reference CPT(R) Professional
7 Bundled Services Slit lamp exam Keratometry Routine ophthalmoscopy Retinoscopy Tonometry Motor evaluation Compare to E/M Service.. 7
8 E/M Codes with 1997 Eye Exam Elements History Exam Test visual acuity (Does not include determination of refractive error) Gross visual field testing by confrontation Test ocular motility including primary gaze alignment Inspection of bulbar and palpebral conjunctivae Examination of ocular adnexae including lids (eg, ptosis or lagophthalmos), lacrimal glands, lacrimal drainage, orbits and preauricular lymph nodes Examination of pupils and irises including shape, direct and consensual reaction (afferent pupil), size (eg, anisocoria) and morphology Slit lamp examination of the corneas including epithelium, stroma, endothelium, and tear film Slit lamp examination of the anterior chambers including depth, cells, and flare Slit lamp examination of the lenses including clarity, anterior and posterior capsule, cortex, and nucleus Measurement of intraocular pressures (except in children and patients with trauma or infectious disease) Exam (Continued) Ophthalmoscopic examination through dilated pupils (unless contraindicated) of Optic discs including size, C/D ratio, appearance (eg, atrophy, cupping, tumor elevation)and nerve fiber layer Posterior segments including retina and vessels (e.g., exudates and hemorrhages) Brief assessment of mental status including Orientation to time, place and person Mood and affect (e.g., depression, anxiety, agitation) Exam Level Problem Focused 1-5 elements Expanded Problem Focused 6 + elements Detailed 9 + elements Comprehensive Perform and document Every element in the eye exam category Perform and document at least 1 element in Neurological/Psychiatric Medical Decision Making 8
9 Considerations for Using E/M vs. an Eye Exam What does the documentation support? Diagnosis specific regulations For certain insurance companies eyelid and adnexa diagnoses may not be considered medically necessary for some components of eye exam Know your carriers requirements and patients insurance Routine or Medical Frequency Allowed Very detailed consultation/patient visit may support E/M 9
10 Routine Eye Exams Most carriers use CPT with Z codes Z01.00, Encounter for examination of eyes and vision without abnormal findings Z01.01, Encounter for examination of eyes and vision with abnormal findings Use additional code to identify abnormal findings Alternatively, Medicaid and some carriers use S0620 Routine ophthalmological examination including refraction; new patient S0621 Routine ophthalmological examination including refraction; established patient These codes include 92015, Determination of refractive state Medicare does not reimburse for routine (screening) exams Note signs/symptoms/disease processes 10
11 Diagnostic Testing Procedures Important Reimbursement Concepts Multiple Procedure Payment Reductions (MPPR) Bilateral Procedures Extended Ophthalmoscopy Fluorescein and Indocyanine Green Angiography Fundus Photography Ophthalmic A and B Scans Visual Field Testing 11
12 Multiple Procedure Payment Reductions (MPPR) Identify appropriate reductions Reduction to 80% of allowed fee schedule for the technical component (TC) of certain diagnostic ophthalmology procedures Applies to subsequent procedures when multiple procedures are furnished to the same patient on the same date of service Does not apply to the Professional Component (PC) Identify using MPFS Payment Policy Indicators multiple surgery column 7 = Diagnostic ophthalmology services subject to the MPPR methodology 0 = No payment adjustment rules for multiple procedures apply 12
13 Multiple Procedure Payment Reductions Example CPT Code CPT Code Total Payment Before Reduction Total Payment After Reduction Payment Calculation PC $46.00 $23.00 $69.00 $69.00 No Reduction TC $92.00 $53.00 $ $ $ (80% x $53.00) Global $ $76.00 $ $ $ $ (80% x $53.00)
14 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Payment Policy Indicators
15 Bilateral Procedures Identify appropriate reimbursement for bilateral procedures Use MPFS Bilateral Surgery Indicator 1= Payment is 150% fee schedule for bilateral. 2= No increase. Procedure is already bilateral. 3= Each eye is coded independently at 100% of FS. Bilateral = 200% of FS 0= Payment adjustment for bilateral does not apply. 15
