Wiki 92071 - billing place of service

[mconnolly]

Our doctor placed a therapeutic contact lens (92071) which was done at an outpatient facility. We recd a denial stating that this cannot be done in this kind of setting. I cannot find anything that states cannot be done in a facility and there is also a facility and non facility fee on the medicare fee schedule. Can i get some advise on this? Could this be a denial error, or can this only be done in an office setting.

Thanks. Would appreciate any input.
