I have a question for you about Spot Vision Testing
My provider currently wants to purchase a Machine Spot Vision Screener, that will do an Eye Test in the Office for providers instead of the snellen chart.
But HCA/DSHS Fee Schedule states code 99177 would need a PA for every time we billed out this code and code 99174
99173
$1.87

Premera Private insurance states they would pay for 99174 roughly $40.00
My Problem is with CPT CODE 99174 , intstrament based ocular screening (eg photoscreening, automated-refraction), bilateral, with remote analysis and report
when it states remote analysis and report - does that mean the device itself is remote ? and the report that the machine prints ?
because in my mind I should be getting a report from a company remotely ?
PLEASE HELP !!!
