ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
Billing for ophthalmology and retina services requires precision and compliance, especially in light of recent regulatory scrutiny from the OIG. RevascentTM revenue cycle experts will provide in-depth guidance about accurate coding, documentation and modifier use specifically for retina and general ophthalmology services.
We’ll focus on proper use of Modifier 25 when billing E/M services on the same day as intravitreal injections. This is an area under heightened OIG scrutiny; according to its May 2025 report, the agency identified a 92% error rate and nearly $124 million in Medicare payments at risk for non-compliance. 
Key Topics: 
  • Learn more about OIG’s May 2025 report and best practices for compliant billing of E/M with Modifier 25 on the same day as injections
  • Understand the decision-making process behind billing separate E/M services and how to document clearly when procedures are performed during the same encounter
  • Implement correct coding for retina injections, including HCPCS drug codes, bilateral procedure modifiers and linking diagnosis codes to support medical necessity
  • Navigate CMS rules and payer policies for diagnostic testing (e.g., OCT, fluorescein angiography, fundus photography), including frequency limitations and required documentation
  • Interpret status indicators, MUEs and MAIs in the context of ophthalmology to proactively mitigate claim edits and denials
Presented By:
