What are the CPT® and ICD-10-CM codes reported?

CPT® Code: 92002

ICD-10-CM Codes: B02.39, H04.123

Rationales:
CPT®: In the Alphabetic Index look for Ophthalmology, Diagnostic/Eye Exam/New Patient which directs you to 92002–92004.
According to the guidelines for Ophthalmology coding of E/M service, located in the Medicine section, this constitutes as an
Intermediate ophthalmological visit, as the patient did not receive a general evaluation of the complete visual system and 92002
Ophthalmological services medical examination and evaluation with initiation and continuation of diagnostic and treatment
program; intermediate, new patient is selected.

ICD-10-CM: Look in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index for Shingles see Herpes/zoster/eye (lid) leading to B02.39. ICD-10-CM
B02.39 Other Herpes Zoster eye disease. In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index look for Blepharitis/Herpes zoster also leading to
B02.39. Next in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index look for Syndrome/dry eye which directs you to code H04.12-. A 6th character of
3 is used for the both eyes (OU). Verify code selection in the Tabular List.
