What 92316 covers

This service covers fitting contact lenses for a patient with aphakia, meaning the natural crystalline lens is absent, in both eyes. A technician performs the fitting, which may involve assessing lens fit and visual performance and selecting lenses appropriate for the patient’s needs. It is distinct from fitting contact lenses for a patient without aphakia and from fitting a lens for only one aphakic eye.

Report the code when the technician provides the fitting service for both eyes, rather than for dispensing an already-fitted lens alone. The record should support aphakia in both eyes and document the fitting work performed. CMS prices this code as bilateral: report the service for both eyes under this code, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.

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.

92316 billing questions

When should this code be used instead of 92314?

Use 92316 for a technician-performed fitting in a patient with aphakia in both eyes. Code 92314 is for a technician-performed fitting in a patient who does not have aphakia.

Should modifier 50 be appended?

The code is already priced as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment. It represents fitting for both eyes.

How does this differ from 92312?

Both codes describe contact lens fitting for aphakia in both eyes. Code 92316 identifies the technician-performed service; 92312 is the corresponding fitting code without the technician designation.

What documentation supports reporting this code?

Document aphakia in both eyes and the technician’s fitting work, such as assessment of lens fit or visual performance and lens selection.

Can this code be used for one aphakic eye?

No. This code is for fitting in both eyes. Code 92315 is the technician fitting code for aphakia in one eye.

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.
