Does anyone bill for this at a PCP (not an eye doctor)? I'm looking for a CPT code that would accurately describe/support this service. It provides a glaucoma screening in the provider's office. If there is a positive result, the patient is referred to an eye doctor for follow up.
Thank you in advance for any feedback. Here is some of the information:

“Diaton tonometry” is a unique approach to measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) through the Eyelid. Non-Contact (no contact with cornea), no anesthesia or sterilization required, pen like, hand-held, portable tonometer.
diaton tonometer provides high reliability of measuring results and makes it possible to diagnose glaucoma on the early stage and appoint necessary treatment and medicines.
The unique methodology of intraocular pressure measuring through the eyelid applied in the device provides new resources in ophthalmotonometry, simplicity and safety of tests.
Transpalpebral "diaton" tonometer is effective and irreplaceable in various situations:
screening examinations of the patients
IOP control during selection of adequate medicines
IOP measuring in the presence in a patient of chronical conjunctivitis, erosions, edema and cornea dimness
IOP measuring in patients after corneal surgeries
ophthalmotone day monitoring
IOP measuring in immobilized patients and in children
IOP measuring during contact correction (lenses are not taken out).
