Article Text

Noridian allows coverage for CPT® Code 92227 Imaging of Retina for detection or monitoring of disease; with remote clinical staff review and report, unilateral or bilateral, for the early detection of diabetic retinopathy in patients with Type I diabetes for greater than five years or Type II diabetes at the time of diagnosis on an annual basis until such time as such retinopathy is detected. CPT® 92229 allows coverage for Imaging of retina for detection or monitoring of disease; point-of-care autonomous analysis and report, unilateral or bilateral. Once retinopathy is detected the patient should be under the direct care of an ophthalmologist but on occasion a need may arise where remote acquisition of retinal images is medically necessary. For those times 92228 or 92229 is billed.

Please note that the CPT code encompasses either unilateral or bilateral. Noridian will not pay for 92227 more frequently than annually. Medicare benefits covers an eye exam for diabetic retinopathy screening once each year if you have diabetes. 92227 or 92229 should not be billed if the patient has had an in person ocular examination by an ophthalmologist.

In a patient with established diabetic retinopathy, a remote image process may be done and the images transmitted to an ophthalmologist for review and guidance. The image review must be done by an ophthalmologist. For imaging of retina for detection or monitoring of disease; with remote physician or other qualified health care professional, interpretation and report, unilateral or bilateral (92228), an ophthalmologist must interpret the image and submit a formal report with any treatment or follow up recommendations. In the rare instance where an ophthalmologist is not available in a patient with established diabetic retinopathy, point of care follow up images may be done using 92229 with automated analysis and report.

The imaging device must be FDA approved for the intended use. In addition, transmission of the images and beneficiary information must adhere to applicable HIPAA laws for patient privacy.

The originating office must be able to demonstrate that the person acquiring the image(s) has been fully trained in the acquisition of such images for the respective device.

In review, once diabetic retinopathy is diagnosed the use of CPT® 92227 no longer applies as the care is no longer screening in nature.

Revision History Information

Revision History Date Revision History Number Revision History Explanation
11/01/2023 R4

Coverage articles may be retired due to lack of evidence of current problems or CMS may have issued guidance regarding national coverage. The Noridian guidance in the retired article may still be helpful in assessing medical necessity. Where providers have adjusted their billing and coding practices to correspond to the guidance in a coverage article, they will want to be very careful in departing from these practices just because the article is retired. Provider offices remain responsible for correct performance, coding, billing, and medical necessity under Medicare. This responsibility for correct claims submission is unchanged whether or not there is a coverage article in place.

01/01/2023 R3

Per Annual HCPCS/CPT updates, the descriptor of CPT code 92229 has been revised. Article text has been updated to show revision.

01/21/2022 R2

Article text revised to reflect CPT descriptor changes for 92227 and 92228

10/28/2021 R1

Effective 10/28/20201 - ICD-10 E10.9 and E11.9 are being added to Group 1
