We have a physician who performs Lasik PRK surgeries.
Once a month the have a seminar for all the West Point Cadets interested in
the surgery, anywhere from 30-200 cadets attend the 60 minute seminar for
refractive surgery options. Counceling covered multiple areas, to include
purpose of surgery, detailed anatomy of the eye, myopia, hyperopia, and
astigmatism. Qualification for as well as risks and expectation of each
procedure are discussed at length with the patients to include potential for
20/25 or better vision. Etc etc.
They would like to know if there is a code to capture this service as a
group. I looked at 99078 but not sure if this falls into this type of
counseling.
I was also told that the cadets who are interested would then come to the
clinic and be evaluated, at this point some may or may not qualify but I
think all the above will be discussed at that time also.
Please let me know ASAP
Thanks so much!
