Optometric Billing-92225-Ophthalmoscopy Extended w retinal drawing - Initial-Acceptable DX Codes

We have done numerous posts on the 92225 proc code. My main reason for this is because it is highly abused among optometrists and optometric billers and billing staff alike. Therefore, in an effort to continue to provide more clarity on this subject I am publishing a list of acceptable Diagnosis Codes that can be reported to Medicare (and most other insurances) when billing for this procedure. I would like to point out that this list is based on Texas medicare Local Coverage Determinations (LCD's) but it is a good reference point for any state as variations in the rule are minute. If you have any questions about your state, feel free to contact Andrew Roy at 802-253-7201 and we will help you find the EXACT DX codes for your state.
