The Importance of CPT® Category II Codes

Dilated eye exams are the clinical standard of care for a patient living with diabetes. Demonstrate the care you provide to health plans and providers by including diabetic eye exam Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) Category II on your VSP WellVision Exam® claims. 

News to Know

Learn about updated requirements for submitting patient conditions on eye exam claims with a date of service of January 1, 2024 or later.

These codes provide information on exam results and services to support performance measures for programs, including Medicare’s Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®), and Star Ratings. This industry-standard requirement reduces the need for office staff to pull patient records, promotes the valuable role of optometry in patient health care, and improves continuity of care and supports VSP® health plan clients meet quality measurement requirements.
