CPT 92004 is a code used in the medical billing and coding system to describe a comprehensive eye examination for new patients. This examination includes a detailed assessment of the patient's history, vision, and ocular health, along with various diagnostic tests. It typically involves an evaluation of the visual system and may include procedures such as refraction and the assessment of the eye's structure and function. The code is used by eye care professionals, such as optometrists and ophthalmologists, to bill for their services.

CPT code 92004 refers to a comprehensive ophthalmological examination, which includes a detailed evaluation of the patient's visual system, medical history, and any necessary diagnostic tests. This code is typically used for new patients or those returning after a significant absence. The examination may involve various assessments such as visual acuity, pupil response, and fundus examination. It is important for documenting and billing for the services provided during the eye examination.
A 92004 does not include a 92015; 99204 does include a 92015.
No, you cannot bill 92004 (comprehensive eye examination) and 92015 (refraction) together on the same date of service if the refraction is considered part of the comprehensive exam. Typically, the refraction is included in the evaluation and management of the eye exam, so billing for both separately is generally not allowed. Always check specific payer guidelines, as rules may vary.
