What 92342 covers

This service covers fitting spectacles with multifocal lenses, which provide more than one optical power to support vision at different distances. It is used for patients who need multifocal eyewear, commonly for near- and distance-vision needs such as presbyopia. An optometrist or ophthalmologist typically evaluates the prescription and fit; optical staff may assist with lens positioning and frame adjustment in an eye-care or optical setting.

Code 92342 is for multifocal spectacle fitting in a patient who is not aphakic. Use the spectacle-fitting code that matches the lens design; aphakia fittings are represented by separate codes. Medicare physician fee schedule status N means Medicare does not cover this service. The code describes spectacle fitting, not contact lens fitting, lens replacement, or spectacle repair.

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.

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.
