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

What 92060 covers

An ophthalmologist or optometrist uses this examination to quantify how the eyes align and move, rather than relying only on a routine motility screen. Measurements may assess eye position at different fixation distances or gaze positions, as appropriate to the presentation. It is commonly used when a patient reports double vision or has suspected strabismus, a paretic eye muscle, or restricted movement. The service may be performed in an office or facility setting, with findings interpreted and reported by the clinician.

Choose the code when the record supports multiple measurements of ocular deviation and a documented interpretation; a general eye examination alone does not establish that work. The service has professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and no modifier represents the global service. When multiple ophthalmology diagnostic procedures are performed, the multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment.
