Wiki New to Optometry billing 92285

[jartka]

I am new to optometry billing and I have a denial for vision insurance of 92012-25 and 92285. The denial is for the modifier. Is it not necessary to have a modifier with this test? Thanks for you help.

You don't need the modifier for the test to be done the same day. Bill just the 92012 and the 92285 by themselves without a modifier. You only need the modifier for something like foreign body removal or some other procedure like that not for a test to be done, such as visual fields or OCT or photos.
