What 92134 covers

This service uses computerized scanning imaging of the posterior retina, most often optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the macula. Ophthalmologists and optometrists use it to assess retinal thickness and layers in age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, retinal vein occlusion, macular holes, epiretinal membranes, and vitreomacular traction; OCT also supports hydroxychloroquine toxicity screening. A technician obtains the images in an eye care office or clinic, and the interpreting clinician documents retinal findings. Imaging directed at the optic nerve rather than the retina belongs to 92133.

Report one unit for one or both eyes at a session; CMS prices the code as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment. The report should identify the eyes examined, clinically relevant findings, and comparison with prior imaging when available. Modifier 26 identifies interpretation alone; modifier TC identifies equipment and staff services alone. Bill globally without either modifier when the billing entity furnishes both components. When multiple eligible ophthalmic diagnostic tests are performed, CMS's ophthalmology diagnostic multiple procedure reduction affects the technical component. Choose 92137 instead when documented OCT angiography is part of the retinal study.
