Enctr for exam of eyes and vis fol fail vis scrn wbn find

This code signifies a patient visit specifically for a comprehensive eye and vision examination that was prompted by a previous vision screening test indicating abnormal results. It indicates that the initial screening identified potential vision problems requiring further, more detailed assessment by an ophthalmologist or optometrist.

Use this code when a patient presents for an eye exam after failing a school vision screening, a workplace vision test, or a primary care physician's screening that revealed abnormal findings. This code is appropriate when the purpose of the visit is to investigate and diagnose the cause of the previously identified vision impairment.

• Always sequence this code as the primary diagnosis when it is the reason for the encounter.
• Do not use this code for routine, asymptomatic vision screenings.
• Report additional codes for any specific diagnoses found during the comprehensive eye exam (e.g., myopia, astigmatism).
