Why Diabetic Retinopathy screenings

Both codes relate to remote retinal imaging for disease detection, but they describe different parts of the service:

  • CPT 92227 — Remote imaging for detection of retinal disease (screening/imaging under physician direction).
  • CPT 92228 — Remote imaging with interpretation and report by a physician or other qualified health care professional.

In a primary care-led screening workflow, billing depends on who performs which portion of the service, payer rules, and medical necessity. Your clinic orders the screening and manages billing; CarePlus facilitates image capture and specialist interpretation through its platform. Confirm coding with your billing team and payer policies.
