Medical Coding Training — Ophthalmology Coding https://www.cco.us/ceu-eye-ocular-aud... • Okay, this one is from Thomas. I have a question in ophthalmology outpatient clinic. How will you code E M in ophthalmology? • Are there any special codes other than 99201 to 205 or 211 to 215 for new and established outpatients? Is E M coding different for ophthalmology compared to basic E M coding? Can someone explain to me with some reference about determination of MDM and E M? I'm getting a lot of queries about MDM from the providers/physicians. Thank you. • So yes, ophthalmology is the only specialty where they can choose to use the regular E M codes or the special eye codes that are in the medicine section. So I've got an answer sheet prepared here. I did a little screen capture from a supercoder and you can see 92002 to 004 are new patients -- ophthalmological services and procedures. These are the eye codes. It's the same as regular E M and that they're divided by new versus established. There's only two codes for new and there's only two codes for established. The difference is the level , so it's intermediate versus comprehensive. • Okay so here it is in my CPT book. So ophthalmological services, that's basically your eye codes. Medical exam and evaluation with initiation of diagnostic and treatment programs. So you do need to have that, that's before the semi-colon. Intermediate, comprehensive. So these are the two new code, new patient codes. And then we've got 92012 and 014, these are the intermediate for established patients and comprehensive for established patients. Again, it's with initiation or continuation of diagnostic and treatment program. • Click here to get more cpc exam tips, coding certification training, and ceu credits. https://www.cco.us/cco-monthly-newsle... • • Medical Coding Training — Ophthalmolo...
