What 92066 covers
This code represents the technical work of orthoptic training delivered under a physician’s or other qualified health care professional’s supervision. Orthoptic training is used for binocular vision and eye-alignment problems, with exercises intended to improve coordinated use of the eyes. The training may be carried out by supporting staff in an office setting; the supervising professional directs the service. This code is distinct from training performed directly by a physician or qualified health care professional.
Report the code for the supervised training service, with documentation identifying the training provided and the supervising professional. CMS treats it as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation. The Medicare relative value units assign no physician work and include practice expense and malpractice components. Payment is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. The code’s units should reflect the documented service; do not infer a time-based unit from the supervision language.

92066 billing questions
How does 92066 differ from 92065?
92066 represents supervised orthoptic training as a technical service. 92065 is the related code for training performed by a physician or other qualified health care professional.
Is 92066 a technical-component-only code?
Yes. CMS identifies 92066 as technical-component-only, with a separate code covering interpretation.
Should modifier 50 be appended?
No. CMS prices 92066 as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.
What documentation supports reporting 92066?
Document the orthoptic training provided and the physician or qualified health care professional supervising it. The record should make clear that the service was supervised rather than performed directly by that professional.
Can 92060 be reported on the same date?
A sensorimotor examination may be reported when it is a distinct service from the orthoptic training. Document the examination separately from the training activity.
