Ophthalmic diagnostic testing
About 92060: Quantitative ocular alignment examination
Reports detailed measurements of eye alignment and movement, commonly performed to evaluate diplopia, strabismus, or suspected restrictive or nerve-related motility problems.
An ophthalmologist or optometrist uses this examination to quantify how the eyes align and move, rather than relying only on a routine motility screen. Measurements may assess eye position at different fixation distances or gaze positions, as appropriate to the presentation. It is commonly used when a patient reports double vision or has suspected strabismus, a paretic eye muscle, or restricted movement. The service may be performed in an office or facility setting, with findings interpreted and reported by the clinician.
Choose the code when the record supports multiple measurements of ocular deviation and a documented interpretation; a general eye examination alone does not establish that work. The service has professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and no modifier represents the global service. When multiple ophthalmology diagnostic procedures are performed, the multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment.
CMS billing rules for 92060
- Professional and technical components
- Diagnostic test with a professional component (modifier 26, interpretation) and a technical component (modifier TC, equipment and staff); billing without a modifier is the global service.
- Multiple procedures
- Ophthalmology diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component.
- Bilateral procedures
- The code is already priced as bilateral; modifier 50 does not increase payment.

$38.06–$42.37
92065 reports orthoptic training, a treatment service. 92060 is diagnostic measurement and interpretation of ocular alignment and movement.
$33.14–$38.50
92081 reports limited visual-field testing. It evaluates visual-field function rather than measuring ocular alignment or movement.

92060 billing questions
How is this different from an ophthalmic office visit such as 92012 or 92014?
Those codes report an ophthalmic examination. Report 92060 for the separately documented quantitative alignment and movement testing, not merely because motility was observed during the visit.
Should modifier 26 or TC be reported?
Use modifier 26 for the clinician’s interpretation and modifier TC for the technical service involving equipment and staff. Submit the code without either modifier for the global service.
Does modifier 50 apply when both eyes are evaluated?
No. CMS prices 92060 as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.
Which part is subject to the ophthalmology multiple-procedure reduction?
The reduction applies to the technical component when multiple ophthalmology diagnostic procedures are performed. It does not apply to the professional component under the CMS rule supplied for this code.
What documentation supports reporting 92060?
Document the alignment or motility concern, the multiple measurements performed, the findings, and the clinician’s interpretation. A brief notation that eye movements were checked does not describe the service.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
