The patient's medical record must contain documentation that fully supports the medical necessity for the visual fields testing in accordance with the applicable LCD.
Documentation should include relevant medical history, a physical examination, and results of pertinent diagnostic tests or procedures supporting the need for visual fields testing.
The diagnosis code(s) reported on the claim must best describe the patient's condition for which the visual fields testing was performed.
Refer to NCCI and OPPS requirements prior to billing Medicare to ensure coding compliance and to determine any bundling or packaging edits.

Ultrasound of soft tissues of the head and neck is covered when it is reasonable and necessary as defined by Local Coverage Determination L34027.
Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC) is medically necessary when the patient has one or more documented diagnoses listed as supporting medical necessity (e.g., F91.9, G97.81, T81.9XXA, T88.8XXA, F79) and the diagnosis is matched to the anesthesia/CPT/HCPCS procedure performed.
Use G9 anesthesia modifier to indicate need for MAC due to a history of severe or advanced cardiopulmonary disease when the proceduralist determines additional monitoring is required.
Use G8 anesthesia modifier for certain deep, complex, complicated, or markedly invasive surgical procedures when applied to anesthesia codes 00100, 00300, 00400, 00160, 00532, or 00920.
MAC may be appropriate for pediatric patients (Medicare-eligible and younger than 18) when documented using ICD-10-CM code T88.8XXA and clinical records justify the need for MAC.
Taped and un-taped visual field testing count as one unit of service for MUE (medically unlikely edits) purposes.
