Is refraction considered included in a comprehensive exam?
Applied Medical Systems
Good question. Although refraction is considered a very important part of any eye exam from a provider’s point of view, it is NOT included in the CPT description of a comprehensive exam. Refractions are billed with their own CPT code, 92015, and this code is not covered by Medicare or most other medical insurance payers. Front desk staff should make Medicare patients aware of this upfront and collect accordingly.
