Submitting Claims/Billing & Reimbursement
Submit claims just as you do for VSP Signature Plan claims. For additional information, refer to Submitting Claims in the VSP Manual.
Billing
- You may bill eye exams using S0620 (routine ophthalmological examination, including refraction, new patient) or S0621 (routine ophthalmological examination, including refraction, established patient). Be sure to complete a comprehensive exam when using these codes; VSP pays at the comprehensive level.
- If you choose to use 920XX codes to bill the eye exam, please remember to bill refraction (92015) separately for accurate reimbursement.
- WellVision® Exams should be billed with the appropriate refractive error diagnosis code. Reasons for encounters diagnosis codes are also acceptable.
- Reasons for encounters diagnosis codes are payable for WellVision® Exams only. Reasons for encounters diagnosis codes may not be billed as primary or as the sole diagnosis code for materials.
- Materials must be billed with the appropriate refractive error diagnosis code.
- Enter additional diagnosis codes if other medical conditions exist.
- Bill non-covered materials on a private invoice, even if a VSP contract lab is used. Non-covered lenses may be fabricated at any lab of your choice, including in-office labs.
Note:
When billing progressive lenses, bill your U&C fee on two lines—one for the base bifocal lenses and the second for the progressive add-on.
Reimbursement
Reimbursement is made according to the current Advantage Network Fee Schedule. View the Advantage Network Fee Schedule on VSPOnline by selecting Administration and Practice/Doctor Updates from the menu, then clicking the View or Update Fees link.
