Encounter for fit/adjst of spectacles and contact lenses

This code indicates a patient encounter focused on the initial fitting, refitting, or subsequent adjustment of eyeglasses or contact lenses. It signifies that the primary purpose of the visit is related to the proper positioning, comfort, and optical performance of these vision correction devices.

Use this code for visits where a patient receives new spectacles or contact lenses and requires fitting, or when existing eyewear needs adjustment due to discomfort, poor fit, or changes in visual needs. This includes follow-up visits specifically for these purposes after an initial prescription.

• Always sequence this code as the primary diagnosis when fitting or adjustment is the sole reason for the encounter.
• Do not use this code for routine eye exams that result in a new prescription; instead, use the appropriate general medical examination or vision screening codes.
• If a refractive error is also addressed during the same encounter, code the refractive error as a secondary diagnosis.
