Ophthalmology billing requires careful separation of Medicare-covered medical services from non-covered routine eye exams. Cataract surgery (CPT 66984) requires documented Snellen visual acuity thresholds and payer-specific prior auth, while bilateral procedures require modifier 50 or LT/RT modifiers depending on the payer. MedSynthea's ELIG agent tracks per-eye benefit accumulation and prevents refraction code (92015) from being bundled with comprehensive eye exam codes (92004/92014).
