CPT Code 92229

For CY 2021, Medicare began making payment for CPT code 92229 (Imaging of retina for detection or monitoring of disease; with point-of-care automated analysis with diagnostic report; unilateral or bilateral). In the CY 2021 PFS Final Rule, CMS considered CPT code 92229 to be a diagnostic service under the PFS.

The purpose of this notice is to provide clarification to the MACs that any  practitioner who is allowed to provide diagnostic tests on the PFS may report CPT code 92229  and be paid for it.
