Hey I have a question, do you charge a 92071 (bandage contact lens) and 99070 (supplies and materials) for a Medicare patient? One of my providers wants to do this and I just don't think Medicare will pay for this????

It kind of depends. Many providers will use trail contact lenses, such as Night and Day or Truclear, for the bandage CL. In those cases, you shouldn't bill the 99070. If your doctor is actually using one of the contact lenses which are specifically designated as bandage CLs and paying for them, then you can bill the 99070. That being said, you most likely won't get paid for the 99070 because some carriers consider the lens supply to be bundled in the 92071 fee.
