Wiki Bandage Contact Lens

[tcoleman6]

The code we used for bandage contact lenses (92070), which covered fitting and supplies, has been deleted this year and replaced with 92071 and 99070 to report supplies separately.

When I report the 99213 with 92071 & 99070, they will not pay for the supplies. Insurance is telling me that the lens is bundled into the office visit as normal supplies. Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way to submit this?

This is what I do.

I always bill 99213-25 modifier and then 92071. There maybe a chance that the insurance does not cover and try and den saying they don't cover contacts but anytime that happens I send medical records. Hope this helps!
