Wiki Eye Injections

[kathy a]

I have another question. Our Retina doctors do injections in the eyes. It may be every few months, sooner, later,etc. They always do a complete exam and usually an OCT. We bill for the injection and OCT only, as that is what is on the schedule as to why they are there. It seems that we should be able to bill at least once a year for an exam. What are anybody's thoughts on this. Thanks

The retina docs in our area bill either a level 3 or 4 99xxx code along with the codes for the injection and materials.
