Encounter for fitting and adjustment of artificial right eye

This code signifies a patient's visit for the initial placement, modification, or repair of a prosthetic device replacing their right eye. This includes activities such as shaping the artificial eye for proper fit, adjusting its position, or addressing any discomfort or functional issues.

Apply this code when a patient presents for services related to their ocular prosthesis for the right eye. This encompasses both new fittings after enucleation or evisceration, and subsequent visits for adjustments due to changes in the orbital socket, wear and tear, or patient comfort.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the right eye as the affected side for the artificial eye service.
• Do not use this code for encounters related to the fitting or adjustment of a left artificial eye; a different code exists for that scenario.
• This code is for the encounter itself; separate procedure codes will be needed for the actual fitting, adjustment, or repair services performed.
