Hello my ophthalmologist friends!
Medicare is changing the rules for the 92235 and the 92240. Up until 2017 we would bill two line items of those codes with RT/LT modifiers. According to the new edits, as of 2017 those codes are bilateral. If you separate them and use the RT/LT modifiers your claim will be denied.
If you already sent them that way, you can use your local Medicare site to do a simple claim correction and get that updated.
For the FA and the ICG this year, you bill just one line item with no modifiers. And, yes, we will get paid less.
Sorry.
