What 92014 covers
An ophthalmologist or optometrist performs this comprehensive assessment for an established patient, usually in an eye care office. Established status depends on professional services within the preceding three years from the clinician or a clinician of the same specialty and subspecialty in the same group. The evaluation addresses the visual system through history, general medical observation, external and ophthalmoscopic examinations, gross visual fields, and a basic sensorimotor assessment. Slit-lamp examination, tonometry, or dilation may be included when indicated. Common medical reasons include glaucoma follow-up, cataract evaluation, and diabetic retinopathy monitoring.
Report 92014 once for the comprehensive service, even if completed over multiple visits; use 92012 for an intermediate examination. The record should support the examination scope, medical reason, and initiation or continuation of a diagnostic or treatment plan. Medicare does not cover routine eye exams without a medical indication. Refraction, when performed, is separately reported with 92015 and excluded from Medicare coverage; medically necessary visual field testing or retinal imaging may also be reported separately. The code covers one or both eyes and is already priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment.

92014 billing questions
When should 92014 be chosen over 92012?
Use 92014 when the documented examination covers the comprehensive visual system assessment and initiates or continues a diagnostic or treatment plan. Use 92012 for an intermediate examination that does not meet that comprehensive scope.
Is refraction included in 92014?
No. Report a separately performed refraction with 92015; Medicare excludes refraction from coverage.
Should modifier RT, LT, or 50 be appended?
Routine reporting of 92014 does not require RT or LT; document the eye or eyes examined. The code covers one or both eyes and is already priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment.
Can an office E/M code be billed instead of 92014?
Yes. An eye care provider may report an office E/M code instead when its documentation requirements are met. Do not report both an office E/M code and 92014 for the same examination.
What qualifies the patient as established for this code?
The patient has received professional services within the preceding three years from the provider or another provider of the same specialty and subspecialty in the same group. If the patient is new, consider 92004 when a comprehensive ophthalmic examination is performed.
Does Medicare pay for an annual comprehensive exam with no complaints?
An annual schedule alone does not establish coverage. A medically indicated examination, such as glaucoma surveillance or diabetic retinal disease monitoring, may qualify even without new complaints; routine vision screening is not covered.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
