CPT® Code 92060

Sensorimotor examination with multiple measurements of ocular deviation (eg, restrictive or paretic muscle with diplopia) with interpretation and report (separate procedure)

An extended sensorimotor examination, as described by CPT® Code 92060, is a comprehensive evaluation aimed at assessing eye movement and ocular alignment. This procedure involves multiple measurements of ocular deviation, which may indicate issues such as restrictive or paretic muscle conditions that can lead to diplopia, or double vision. The examination is conducted bilaterally, meaning both eyes are assessed simultaneously to ensure a thorough understanding of their functional relationship. During the test, the motor function of the eyes is evaluated by measuring ocular alignment as the patient focuses on various targets at different distances. This includes testing multiple fields of gaze, both at distance and near, to capture a complete picture of the eye's movement capabilities. In addition to the motor assessments, sensory tests are also incorporated into the examination for patients who are old enough and capable of responding. These tests may include the Titmus fly test, Worth 4 dot test, Maddox rod test, or Bagolini lens test, which help to further evaluate the sensory aspects of vision and any potential discrepancies in visual perception. Throughout the examination, any deviations from normal eye movements are meticulously documented, and the results are interpreted to provide a comprehensive report of findings. This report is crucial for understanding the underlying issues affecting the patient's ocular health and guiding further management or treatment options.
