Ophthalmic imaging
About 92240: Indocyanine green angiography
Reports indocyanine green angiography of one or both eyes to assess choroidal and retinal circulation, including suspected choroidal vascular abnormalities.
Indocyanine green angiography uses injected dye and ophthalmic imaging equipment to visualize blood flow, particularly in the choroid beneath the retina. Retina specialists commonly use it when assessing suspected choroidal neovascularization or other abnormalities that may be difficult to characterize with examination alone. The study may be performed in an ophthalmology office or a facility, with a qualified clinician interpreting the images and documenting the findings.
Report 92240 for the ICG angiographic study of one or both eyes; the code is already priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. Documentation should identify the clinical reason for imaging and include the interpretation and report. The service has professional and technical components: modifier 26 reports interpretation, modifier TC reports equipment and staff, and no component modifier represents the global service. When multiple ophthalmic diagnostic procedures are performed, the multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component.

92240 billing questions
When should 92240 be used instead of 92242?
Use 92240 for ICG angiography alone. When both fluorescein and ICG angiography are performed, 92242 describes the combined study.
Can 92240 be reported for both eyes?
Yes. The code covers unilateral or bilateral imaging, and modifier 50 does not increase payment because bilateral pricing is already built in.
How are the professional and technical services reported?
Use modifier 26 for the interpretation and report, modifier TC for the equipment and staff, or neither modifier when billing the global service.
Does the multiple-procedure reduction affect 92240?
When multiple ophthalmic diagnostic procedures are performed, the reduction applies to the technical component of 92240.
What documentation supports 92240?
Document the reason for the ICG study and the interpretation and report of the images, including the relevant findings.
