This article provides billing/coding guidelines that complement Local Coverage Determination L34417 for CT of the head; consult LCD L34417 for specific coverage, coding, and documentation requirements.
The medical record must document the ordering provider's assessment related to the patient's complaint prompting external ocular photography, including relevant medical history and physical exam findings supporting medical necessity.
All external ocular photographs must be permanently labeled with the patient's name, date, and notation of which eye is pictured, and copies must be available for Medicare review.
An interpretation and report specific to the photograph(s), including comparison to prior photographs when available, must be maintained in the medical record and available to the contractor upon request.

External ocular photography is covered when ordered by an authorized/referring provider to document, diagnose, or monitor an ocular condition and when medical record documentation supports medical necessity.
External ocular photographs are covered to track changes in a patient's ocular condition provided changes are documented in writing and compared to prior photographs when available.
Technical (TC) and professional (26) components of external ocular photography are payable under Part B when billed with the appropriate modifier and performed in allowable places of service as specified by Medicare.
Diagnostic interview codes (e.g., CPT 90791/90792) are indicated for the initial evaluation of a beneficiary, and a second provider seeing the beneficiary for the first time may report diagnostic interview codes for that initial encounter.
CPT code 96105 is indicated for formal evaluation of aphasia using a standardized instrument (for example, the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination).
HCPCS codes G0017 and G0018 are appropriate for services provided in non-facility places of service other than Office.
