Study Notes
Glasses Exams
- Two types: New Eye Exam (NEE) and Former Eye Exam (FEE).
Tests for Glasses Exam
- Primary tests include Auto Refract (AR), Non-Contact Tonometer (NCT), Lensometer, evaluations for Near and Distant vision, Extraocular Muscle (EOM) movement, and Visual Field (VF) tests.
Key Tests Explained
- AR: Provides an estimate of the patient's prescription.
- NCT: Utilizes a puff of air to measure intraocular pressure.
- Lensometer: Determines the precise prescription of the glasses.
- EOM: Assesses muscle movement in the eyes (pen test).
- VF: Tests peripheral vision (hand test).
Contact Lens Exams
- Two types: New Contact Lens (NCL) and Former Contact Lens (FCL).
- NCL tests involve vision checks with and without contacts, AR, NCT, brand inquiry, EOM, and VF.
- FCL tests focus on vision checks with and without contacts, comfort assessment, EOM, and VF.
Office Visits
- Defined as visits for eye issues not related to prescriptions for contact lenses or glasses.
- Three types include New Office Visit (NOV), Former Office Visit (FOV), and Office Visit Follow-Up (OVFU).
Tests for Office Visits
- NOV: Includes distance and near vision checks with and without corrective lenses, NCT, medical inquiries, and lensometer for glasses.
- FOV: Similar tests as NOV.
- OVFU: Involves dilation, VF, lensometer, and vision checks with and without glasses.
- CLFU: Ensure the patient wears trial pairs for distance and near vision assessments and comfort feedback.
Fees and Refraction
- CLFU and EEFU are free within 2 months of the initial visit.
- Refraction fee of $35 applies within 2-6 months.
- After 6 months, a full new eye exam is necessary.
Office Visit Charges and Insurance
- Charges align with posted fees; medical insurance claims involve code 99214.
- Patients with insurance pay copays; uninsured patients pay out of pocket.
Lasik and Cataracts
- Lasik evaluations function like glasses exams; notes must indicate Lasik history, requiring faxing documents to the Lasik institute.
- Post-cataract surgery notes should categorize as glasses exams, noting surgical history.
Medicare and Medical Insurance Claims
- Medicare requires a specific coding system for claims.
- For office visits, a 20% charge applies to total fees; AR fees always charged.
- Medical insurance can be claimed for refractions and specific diagnoses, utilizing both medical and vision insurance strategically for eye exams and contact lenses.
