Thanks to Dr. Eric Botts of OBC posted an update on Facebook that has answered a question we have long held concerning the billing of Contact Lenses as Bandages.
"92070 (bandage contact lens) has been replaced with 92071 (fitting of bandage contact lens to treat ocular disease) and 92072 (initial fitting for treatment of keratoconus)."
As always opticXpress Strives to be on top of billing and coding procedures in order to best serve the optometric community.
