CPT code 92240: ICG angiography, unilateral or bilateral2026 Medicare rate & RVUs

Medicare pays $245.50 for 92240 nationally in the office. Local office rates run $213.64–$342.94.

Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 92240 covers

Indocyanine green angiography uses injected dye and ophthalmic imaging equipment to visualize blood flow, particularly in the choroid beneath the retina. Retina specialists commonly use it when assessing suspected choroidal neovascularization or other abnormalities that may be difficult to characterize with examination alone. The study may be performed in an ophthalmology office or a facility, with a qualified clinician interpreting the images and documenting the findings.

Report 92240 for the ICG angiographic study of one or both eyes; the code is already priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. Documentation should identify the clinical reason for imaging and include the interpretation and report. The service has professional and technical components: modifier 26 reports interpretation, modifier TC reports equipment and staff, and no component modifier represents the global service. When multiple ophthalmic diagnostic procedures are performed, the multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component.
