Optometric Billing-How to Bill 92082-Visual Field - Intermediate

Note: This post is based on icd-9. You will need to translate the listed codes to ICD-10 but all the other rules listed herein remain the same.


Billing for an Intermediate Visual Field (92082) In General:


This code is considered unilateral or bilateral-This means that it may only be billed once you may not use an RT or LT modifier.

If you only perform the service one one eye you should append with modifier -52 to show that the services were reduced to only one eye. Again, 

the insurance company doesn't care which eye it is so you NEVER use and RT or LT modifier. 

In general, a visual field may be done only once every 6 months. Also, some payers will not pay a visual field separately from an eye exam if you 

do not have a separate DX code for the eye exam that is not significantly different from the DX code you are using to bill the visual field.


The following ICD-9 codes can be translated to ICD-10 and used a basic GUIDE for which DX codes can be used and will be paid when billing for 

these services. 

***NOTE: THESE CODES ARE BASED ON MEDICARE OF VERMONT AND ARE NOT AN EXACT REPRESENTATION OF ALL MEDICARE DIVISIONS AND 

OTHER PAYERS NATIONWIDE. NONETHELESS, THIS IS STILL A GOOD GUIDE TO FOLLOW.
