What 92230 covers

Fluorescein angioscopy is a direct examination of ocular circulation after fluorescein dye is administered. An ophthalmologist, often a retina specialist, evaluates the vascular appearance and documents the interpretation; the service is commonly performed in an ophthalmology office. It is distinct from photographic angiography, which records a series of images for interpretation.

Report the service for the eye examined, with documentation identifying the eye, the clinical reason for the examination, and the interpreted findings. The interpretation and report are part of the service, not separate services to code again. When both eyes are examined, CMS pays each side separately at 100%; report the service for each side under the applicable claim-line conventions.

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.

92230 billing questions

How is 92230 different from fluorescein angiography?

92230 describes direct fluorescein angioscopy with interpretation and a report. Use 92235 when the service is multiframe fluorescein angiography rather than direct angioscopic examination.

What documentation supports 92230?

Document the eye examined, the clinical indication, and the findings and interpretation. The service includes its interpretation and report.

How is 92230 paid when both eyes are examined?

CMS pays each side separately at 100%. Report each examined side using the applicable claim-line conventions.

Can 92230 be reported with 92235?

They describe different examination methods: direct angioscopy versus multiframe fluorescein angiography. Report both only when both distinct services were actually performed and documented.

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.
