About 92230: Fluorescein ocular angioscopy
Fluorescein angioscopy examines ocular vascular circulation after dye administration, with interpretation and a report documenting the findings for the tested eye.
Fluorescein angioscopy is a direct examination of ocular circulation after fluorescein dye is administered. An ophthalmologist, often a retina specialist, evaluates the vascular appearance and documents the interpretation; the service is commonly performed in an ophthalmology office. It is distinct from photographic angiography, which records a series of images for interpretation.
Report the service for the eye examined, with documentation identifying the eye, the clinical reason for the examination, and the interpreted findings. The interpretation and report are part of the service, not separate services to code again. When both eyes are examined, CMS pays each side separately at 100%; report the service for each side under the applicable claim-line conventions.

CMS pays each side separately at 100%. Report each examined side using the applicable claim-line conventions.
