# CPT 92025

> Medicare paid $38.88 for CPT 92025 in the office (non-facility) setting and $38.88 in a facility under the Q4 2018 Physician Fee Schedule, effective October 2018. These are the national allowed amounts before the ~2% sequestration cut and before locality (GPCI) adjustment. This price has been unchanged since Q1 2018, when it increased 1.3%.

## What it is

A scan that maps the shape and curvature of the cornea, the clear dome at the front of the eye, and produces a color-coded map of steep and flat areas. The patient looks into a device that projects rings or light patterns onto the eye; nothing touches the eye and no drops are required. The map reveals irregularities that a standard glasses measurement would miss, such as the cone-shaped thinning of keratoconus or distortion from scarring or previous surgery. It is a separate diagnostic test rather than part of a routine refraction.
