Correctly Choose between Eye Codes and E/M Codes

Unlike other specialties, #ophthalmologists have two sets of codes to choose from for #ophthalmology billing. Check your diagnosis code(s), eye codes are more restrictive as to what diagnosis meets medical necessity, and the specific codes can vary by payer. E/M codes do not share those same restrictions.

Use E/M codes for visits that have a medical element. If the exam is strictly visual and contains no medical elements, an eye code is the right choice.
