What 92317 covers
This service covers technician-performed fitting of a corneoscleral contact lens. It may be part of specialty lens care for an irregular corneal surface, such as with keratoconus or corneal scarring. An optometrist or ophthalmologist may direct the patient’s contact lens care, while a trained technician carries out fitting tasks such as assessing trial-lens fit and refining lens parameters.
Choose the code for the corneoscleral lens design and technician-performed fitting; codes 92313 and 92314 describe different fitting circumstances. Documentation should identify the lens design, clinical reason for the fitting, technician’s work, and relevant fit or parameter findings. The CMS physician fee schedule assigns work, practice-expense, and malpractice values to this service, with practice-expense inputs 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.

92317 billing questions
Is 92317 used for every contact lens fitting performed by a technician?
No. It is specific to technician-performed fitting of a corneoscleral lens. A standard contact lens fitting or an aphakia fitting belongs to a different code circumstance.
How does 92317 differ from 92313?
Both concern corneoscleral lens fitting, but 92317 identifies a technician-performed fitting. Use 92313 for the corresponding fitting service performed by the clinician.
What should the record support?
Document the corneoscleral lens design, reason for specialty fitting, technician’s fitting work, and findings that support the selected lens parameters.
Does the code descriptor establish separate units for each eye?
The descriptor identifies the corneoscleral lens fitting but does not establish a per-eye unit rule. Do not infer separate units from the descriptor alone.
Is 92317 a technical component of an eye examination?
No such component relationship is indicated. The code describes a technician-performed contact lens fitting service.
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.
