What 95919 covers
This service uses a quantitative pupillometer to measure pupil characteristics and responses, rather than relying only on a visual examination. A physician or other qualified health care professional interprets the measurements and prepares a report. Neurology and neurocritical care teams may use it when assessing neurologic status, including in patients with acute brain injury or altered responsiveness. It may be performed in an office or hospital setting, depending on the patient’s care.
Report the service for quantitative pupillometry of one or both eyes; the code covers either extent. Documentation should identify the clinical reason for testing, the measurements obtained, and the interpretation and report. CMS recognizes separately priced professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, while modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff portion. Reporting without either modifier represents the global service, including both components.
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.

95919 billing questions
Does testing both eyes require two units?
The code covers quantitative pupillometry of one or both eyes. Document which eyes were tested, but do not report separate units solely because both eyes were measured.
When should modifier 26 be used?
Use modifier 26 for the physician or qualified health care professional’s interpretation and report when billing only the professional component.
When should modifier TC be used?
Use modifier TC for the technical portion, which represents the equipment and staff, when billing that portion separately.
What does reporting without a modifier represent?
An unmodified service represents the global service, combining the professional interpretation and the technical component.
How is this different from autonomic function testing?
This code reports quantitative pupil measurement and interpretation. Codes 95921–95924 describe other autonomic testing methods, such as tests of parasympathetic or adrenergic function.
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.
