CPT 92314: Contact Lens Prescription and Fitting by Technician
CPT code 92314 covers contact lens prescription and fitting services performed by an independent technician for both eyes, excluding cases of aphakia after prior cataract surgery. This code matters nationally because it delineates technician-delivered contact lens services from clinician-provided services, affecting billing pathways, scope-of-practice considerations, and payer coverage policies across commercial and public plans. Key payers in the national landscape include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will learn how 92314 is defined clinically and operationally, which payers commonly cover technician-performed fittings, and what benchmarks and policy considerations typically accompany this service line. The publication summarizes common modifiers used with the code where available, typical sites of service, and the clinical context distinguishing technician fittings from clinician fittings. If specific payer policy details or ICD-10 mappings are not provided in the input, the summary notes that those items are not available and focuses on the available description, service type, and typical settings relevant to billing and compliance for vision care providers and billing staff.
