What 92288 covers

Code 92288 identifies a screening measurement of dark adaptation and includes interpretation and a report. It is selected for a screening service, not for the diagnostic dark adaptation examination represented by 92284.

The reported service is the screening measurement with its interpretation and report, rather than a diagnostic dark adaptation examination.

Medicare lists this service as not covered, with physician fee schedule status N. Code 92288 represents screening dark adaptation measurement with interpretation and reporting; 92284 represents a diagnostic dark adaptation examination.
