What 92132 covers

This service captures computerized images of structures at the front of the eye, including the cornea, iris, and drainage angle. Ophthalmologists and optometrists may use it to assess anterior segment anatomy, such as when evaluating a narrow or potentially occludable angle. It is typically performed in an eye-care office or clinic, with the clinician interpreting the images and documenting the findings.

Select this code for anterior-segment imaging, not imaging directed at the optic nerve or retina. The record should support the clinical reason for the study and include the images and a written interpretation. Billing without a modifier represents the global service; modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, while modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff portion. When multiple ophthalmic 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.
