Default 92133 and 92134
Hello! The February 2011 CPT Assistant states that it is not appropriate4 to report both 92133 and 92134 at the same patient encounter. Why is that?
Thank you for you help!

92133 and 92134 are considered mutually exclusive and cannot be billed together regardless of diagnosis and not modifiable..... why....??? There is no explanation I can find other that what I have given here.

A matter of anatomy: You have to pass the Retina in order to observe the Optic Nerve.
