What 92315 covers
This code describes technician-performed fitting of a corneal contact lens for one eye without a natural lens. Aphakia may follow cataract extraction or another lens-removal procedure. In an ophthalmology or optometry practice, the technician may assess lens fit and movement, evaluate the patient’s response to a trial lens, and assist with adaptation under medical supervision. The code is specific to one aphakic eye; it is not the bilateral fitting code or the technician code for a patient without aphakia.
Report 92315 when the documented service is a technician fitting for one aphakic eye. The record should identify the eye and aphakia, and describe the fitting work, such as trial-lens assessment and adaptation follow-up. Distinguish the technician service from a fitting performed by the eye-care professional, from a bilateral aphakic fitting, and from modification or replacement of an existing lens.
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.

92315 billing questions
When should 92315 be chosen over 92311?
Use 92315 when a technician performs the fitting for one aphakic eye under medical supervision. 92311 is the corresponding one-eye aphakia fitting code without the technician distinction.
Is 92315 for one eye or both eyes?
It describes fitting for one aphakic eye. For a technician fitting both aphakic eyes, consider 92316.
Does the patient need to be aphakic?
Yes. This code is for a corneal contact lens fitting in an eye without a natural lens, such as after lens extraction.
What documentation supports reporting 92315?
Document which eye is aphakic, the technician-performed fitting, and the fitting or trial-lens assessment and adaptation work.
Is 92315 the code for changing or replacing a contact lens?
No. It describes a fitting service. Lens modification and replacement are distinct services represented by other codes.
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.
