Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 92019 covers

92019 represents a limited ophthalmic diagnostic examination performed while the patient is under general anesthesia. It is commonly used for young children or patients who cannot cooperate sufficiently for an adequate examination while awake. An ophthalmologist examines the eyes and performs the maneuvers needed to address the clinical question, typically in an anesthesia-supported setting. The code represents the eye examination, not the administration of anesthesia.

Select 92019 when the examination under anesthesia is limited in scope; use 92018 when the documented examination is comprehensive. The distinction is based on the scope of the examination, not its duration or whether one or both eyes are examined. Documentation should explain why general anesthesia was needed and identify the examination performed and findings that support the limited level.
