Wiki Diabetic Eye Exam CPTs

[anne32]

Our providers perform eye exams for our diabetic patients about once a month. I am trying to find a cpt code to bill that isa physician, not an ophthalmologist, doing the exam. Here are the codes I have found so far, 92250, 92004, and 92014. Do any of these seem right? Can someone please give some guidance?

It will really depend on what is documented as to which code is correct.

Can you explain how to code for the diabetic eye exams and what needs to be documented? I am new this and would appreciate if someone could explain.

Are your providers using a JVN machine (or its equivalent)?

I believe it is a slit lamp and they put some kind of dye into the patients eyes. I was reading that there are different codes depending on if the retinopathy has already been confirmed or if the eye exam is to screen for the retinopathy.
