The hospital I work for is changing the way we currently bill Ophthalmology visits, so I’m trying to learn which CPT codes to use (before the Doctor was choosing the codes to bill). My biggest question at the moment is how to know how to choose between optometry codes (92012 etc) or regular E/M codes? I’ve seen conflicting answers on this. Is it driven by the diagnosis or is it payor specific? Or maybe a combination of both?
