What 92082 covers

This test maps areas of vision the patient can detect while looking at a fixed point. It may use kinetic testing, such as moving targets assessed across multiple isopters, or an automated suprathreshold protocol. Ophthalmologists and optometrists commonly order it when evaluating or monitoring glaucoma, optic nerve disease, or other suspected visual field defects. The test is performed in an office or eye clinic with perimetry equipment and includes interpretation and a report.

Choose this level based on the testing protocol performed, not simply the diagnosis: it represents intermediate testing between a limited screen and an extended threshold examination. Document the method, tested eye or eyes, results, and interpretation. The code is priced bilaterally, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. Bill the global service without a component modifier, or use modifier 26 for interpretation and reporting or TC for equipment and staff. When multiple ophthalmic diagnostic procedures are performed, the multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

92082 billing questions

How does 92082 differ from 92081 and 92083?

Select by the scope and protocol of the field test. 92082 represents intermediate testing; 92081 is limited testing, while 92083 is extended testing.

Can 92082 be reported for both eyes?

Yes. The code is priced as a bilateral service, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.

When should modifier 26 or TC be used?

Use modifier 26 for the professional interpretation and report, or TC for the technical service involving equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.

What documentation supports reporting 92082?

Record the visual field method and protocol, the eye or eyes tested, the results, and the interpretation. The documentation should support an intermediate-level test rather than a limited screen or extended examination.

How does the multiple-procedure reduction affect 92082?

For multiple ophthalmic diagnostic procedures, the reduction applies to the technical component. When billing 92082 with modifier TC, account for that rule.

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.
