What 92002 covers
This service is an intermediate ophthalmological evaluation for a new patient, commonly performed by an ophthalmologist or optometrist in an office or outpatient setting. The clinician evaluates the patient’s eye complaint or finding, examines relevant ocular structures, and uses diagnostic procedures as indicated to decide on an initial diagnostic or treatment approach. Examples of reasons for evaluation include new blurred vision, eye discomfort, or a newly observed ocular finding.
Select 92002 when the documented service is intermediate rather than a comprehensive eye examination and the patient meets the new-patient criteria for the reporting clinician and group. The record should support the eye-related history, examination performed, relevant findings, and the diagnostic or treatment plan initiated. The code is priced as bilateral; reporting modifier 50 does not increase payment. Report a separate diagnostic service only when it was performed and is independently reportable.
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.

92002 billing questions
When should 92002 be chosen over 92004?
Use 92002 for an intermediate new-patient ophthalmological evaluation. Choose 92004 when the service meets the level of a comprehensive new-patient eye examination.
Can 92002 be reported for an established patient?
No. The intermediate eye-examination code for an established patient is 92012. Apply the new-patient criteria to the reporting clinician and group.
Should modifier 50 be appended when both eyes are examined?
No. CMS prices 92002 as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase its payment.
Is a refraction included in 92002?
A refraction is a distinct service reported with 92015 when performed and separately reportable. Document the refraction separately from the evaluation supporting 92002.
What documentation supports 92002?
Document the eye-related history, examination and findings, diagnostic procedures performed as indicated, and the diagnostic or treatment plan initiated. The record should support an intermediate—not comprehensive—level of examination.
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.
