What 92313 covers

Code 92313 describes a clinician-directed fitting of a corneoscleral contact lens, which vaults the cornea and bears on the sclera. An ophthalmologist or optometrist typically evaluates the eye, selects and assesses trial lenses, and supervises adaptation. This approach is often considered for irregular corneas, such as with keratoconus or after corneal transplantation, and for some ocular-surface conditions. Fitting may include evaluating lens position and clearance, vision, comfort, and the patient’s ability to handle the lens.

Choose this code for the corneoscleral lens service, rather than a standard corneal lens fitting or a technician-performed fitting. Documentation should support the lens type, clinical fitting work, assessment of the trial lens, and the clinician’s supervision of adaptation. The contact lens product is distinct from the fitting service and should be handled separately when reportable. CMS valuation uses work and practice-expense inputs, with practice expense valued differently for office and facility settings.

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.

92313 billing questions

How is 92313 different from 92310?

92313 is for a corneoscleral lens fitting. 92310 is used for the specified standard corneal lens fitting, not the corneoscleral lens service.

Can a technician-performed corneoscleral fitting be reported with 92313?

92313 describes clinician-directed fitting with medical supervision of adaptation. Code 92317 is the technician fitting counterpart; select the code that matches who performed the service.

Does 92313 include the contact lens itself?

The code describes the fitting and supervised adaptation service, not the lens product. Handle the lens separately when it is independently reportable.

What documentation supports 92313?

Record why a corneoscleral lens was selected, the trial-lens assessment and fitting work, and the clinician’s role in supervising adaptation.

Does the code identify one eye or both eyes?

The code identifies a corneoscleral lens fitting and does not specify an eye in its descriptor. Follow current CPT reporting instructions for units and document the service performed.

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.
