Wiki cpt code 92225?

How do you code cpt code 92225?Is it a bilateral procedure ?If patient had both eyes done , do we bill with modifer LT, RT, or 50. We received a denial because we only did one eye and insurance company want us to use a modifer 52 because only one eye was done.

92225 mods are LT,RT,50. No need to use a -52. Same goes for 92226

We use the Ophthalmic Coding Coach from AAO, which states that 92225 is inherently bilateral. We typically don't use RT, LT, or 50, and I have never used a -52.

some books state it is unilateral

I stand corrected! I must have looked at the wrong line. It is unilateral! So yes, RT, LT, 50. Sorry.
