Common Billing Challenges

Routine vs Medical Determination

Distinguishing between routine eye exams (vision plans) and medical eye exams (medical insurance) requires proper diagnosis coding and medical necessity documentation.

Refraction Code Billing Restrictions

Medicare and many insurers do not cover refraction (92015) separately, requiring proper billing to patients and coordination with covered services.

Surgical Procedure Complexity

Cataract surgery, LASIK, and other ophthalmologic procedures have complex coding with multiple components including pre-op, surgery, and post-op care.

Vision Plan vs Medical Insurance

Managing separate billing systems for vision plans (VSP, EyeMed) and medical insurance requires different fee schedules and authorization processes.

Bilateral Procedure Modifiers

Many eye procedures are performed bilaterally requiring proper modifier usage (50, LT, RT, E1-E4) to ensure full reimbursement for both eyes.

Diagnostic Testing Documentation

OCT, visual fields, and other diagnostic tests require medical necessity documentation and proper frequency limits to avoid denials.
