Optometric Billing-Billing for Contact Lens Training

When doing my usual look up of site stats for The Optometric Billing spot today, I noticed that someone Googled us using the following key word: "can you bill for contact lense training" . 

I was a bit baffled by this considering that this is historically considered part of the contact lens fitting but I figured I would look 
it up for you cause it piqued my interest. So, here is what I came up with. NO, YOU CAN NOT SPECIFICALLY BILL SEPARATELY FOR 
THE TRAINING. The one area where you might be able to get away with it is insurance companies that take "S" codes
as there is an "s" code for Comprehensive Contact Lens Evaluation. However, I doubt the reimbursement is even worth your time.
I also doubt that insurance company would let you bill for both a Contact lens fitting (92310) and the Comprehensive Evaluation
(S0592) for the same patient, but maybe someone better than I can figure that out for you. 

Bottom line, as always in the Medical Vs. Insurance world....Play it safe and don't get greedy!
