According to Supercoder CPT 92140 (Provocative test for glucoma) is a deleted code effective 01/01/2017, in response to CMS screen for high-volume growth. There is no replacement code for this. It may be included in glucoma screening, eye exam codes or you may have to check with your payer policy.

Here is one document I found - https://www.medtronsoftware.com/pdf...Revisions_Deletions_by_Specialty/Medicine.pdf

It states:

CPT® 2017 deletes 92140 for a proactive test for glaucoma. At this time, CPT® does not provide anindication as to the reason for deletion of this code. CPT® also does not provide a crosswalk for thiscode, but check with the individual payers for their policies on codes to report for this service. Refer tothe CPT® manual also for further direction.
