What 92270 covers

Electro-oculography records changes in the standing electrical potential between the front and back of the eye as lighting conditions change. An ophthalmic technician typically performs the test in an outpatient eye-care setting, while an ophthalmologist, often a retinal specialist or neuro-ophthalmologist, interprets the findings. It can help assess retinal pigment epithelium function in inherited retinal disorders such as Best vitelliform macular dystrophy.

Report 92270 for the bilateral test with interpretation and report. The record should support the clinical reason for testing and include the test findings and physician interpretation. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. When billing the professional or technical portion separately, use modifier 26 for interpretation or modifier TC for equipment and staff; billing without either modifier represents the global service. 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.

92270 billing questions

When should 92270 be selected instead of an electroretinography code?

Use 92270 when the diagnostic question concerns the eye’s standing potential and retinal pigment epithelium function. Full-field and multifocal electroretinography codes assess retinal electrical responses using different test methods.

Does 92270 include testing of both eyes?

Yes. CMS prices this code as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.

Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?

Yes. Report modifier 26 for the interpretation and report, or modifier TC for the equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.

How does the multiple-procedure reduction affect 92270?

When multiple ophthalmic diagnostic procedures are performed, the reduction applies to the technical component of 92270.

What documentation supports reporting 92270?

Document the clinical reason for evaluating retinal pigment epithelium function, the test findings, and the interpreting physician’s report. A suspected inherited retinal disorder such as Best disease is one example of a relevant diagnostic context.

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.
