Section .01: General Provisions .02: General Definitions .03: General Rate Provisions .04: Allowable Fees for Vision Care Services .05: Severability

315.01: General Provisions

(1) Scope. .00 governs the rates of payment used by governmental units and purchasers under M.G.L. c. 152, § 1 et seq. (the Workers’ Compensation Act) for vision care services and ophthalmic materials provided to publicly aided and industrial accident patients.

(2) Applicable Dates of Service. Rates contained in .00 are effective for dates of service on or after February 14, 2025.

(3) Disclaimer of Authorization of Services. .00 is not authorization for or approval of the procedures for which rates are determined pursuant to .00. Governmental units that purchase care are responsible for the definition, authorization, and approval of care and services provided to publicly aided clients.

(4) Administrative Bulletins. EOHHS may issue administrative bulletins to clarify provisions of .00, or to issue coding updates and corrections under .01(5).

(5) Coding Updates and Corrections. EOHHS may publish service code updates and corrections in the form of administrative bulletin. Updates may reference coding systems including, but not limited to, the American Medical Association’s Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) and the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS). The publication of such updates and corrections will list (a) codes for which the code numbers change, with the corresponding cross references between the new codes and the codes being replaced. Rates for such updated codes are set at the rate of the code that is being replaced; (b) codes for which the code numbers remain the same but the description has changed; (c) deleted codes for which there are no corresponding new codes; and (d) codes for entirely new services that require pricing. EOHHS will list these codes and apply individual consideration (IC) payment for these codes until appropriate rates can be developed.

315.02: General Definitions

The terms used in .00 shall have the meanings ascribed in .02 and in the CPT Coding Handbook. The descriptions and five-digit procedure codes included in .00 are obtained from the American Medical Association’s Current Procedural Terminology (CPT), copyright 2024, or the 2024 Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System Level II (HCPCS) unless otherwise specified. Both sources provide a listing of descriptive terms 1

and alpha-numeric identifying codes and modifiers for reporting medical services and procedures performed by health care providers.

Consultation. A type of service provided by a physician or ophthalmologist or optometrist whose opinion or advice regarding evaluation and/or management of a specific problem is requested by another physician or ophthalmologist or optometrist or other appropriate source. A physician consultant may initiate diagnostic and/or therapeutic services. The request for a consultation from the attending physician or ophthalmologist or optometrist or other appropriate source and the need for consultation must be documented in the patient's medical record. The consultant's opinion and any services that were ordered or performed must also be documented in the patient's medical record and communicated to the requesting physician or other appropriate source. Any specifically identifiable procedure (i.e., identified with a specific CPT code) performed on or subsequent to the date of the initial consultation should be reported separately. If a consultant subsequently assumes responsibility for management of a portion or all of the patient's condition(s), the consultation codes should not be used.

Eligible Provider (Provider). Ophthalmologists, optometrists, and dispensing opticians who are registered by an appropriate board of registration in accordance with the provision of M.G.L. c. 112; are not under contractual arrangement with a hospital or affiliated teaching institution for professional services; and who also meet such conditions of participation as may be required by a governmental unit purchasing vision care services and ophthalmic materials or by purchasers under M.G.L. c. 152.

EOHHS. The Executive Office of Health and Human Services established under M.G.L. c. 6A.

Established Patient. A patient who has received professional services from the physician or ophthalmologist or optometrist within the past three years.

Governmental Unit. The Commonwealth, any department, agency, board, or commission of the Commonwealth, and any political subdivision of the Commonwealth.

Individual Consideration (IC). For service codes for which no rate is listed, the purchaser determines the payment amount on an individual consideration basis upon receipt of a bill that describes the services rendered. The purchaser shall determine the appropriate payment in accordance with the following criteria: (a) time required to perform the procedure; (b) degree of skill required for the procedure rendered; (c) severity and complexity of the patient's disorder or disability; (d) cost of goods supplied in rendering the service, including catalogue prices of major supplies; and (e) policies, procedures, and practices of other third-party purchasers of care, governmental and private.

Low-vision Aids. Items including, but not limited to, microscopic and telescopic lenses to correct low vision.

Low-vision Evaluation. A series of evaluative vision tests to measure the degree of low vision and the corrective lenses or aids required.

Modifiers. Listed services may be modified under certain circumstances. When applicable, the modifying circumstances should be identified by the addition of the appropriate two-digit number or letters placed after the usual procedure number from which it is separated by a hyphen.

New Patient. A patient who has not received any professional services from the physician or ophthalmologist or optometrist within the past three years.

Ocular Prosthetic Services. The dispensing and adjustment of false eyes.

Publicly Aided Individual. A person for whose medical and other services a governmental unit is in whole or in part liable under a statutory program.

Vision-care Services and Ophthalmic Materials. Professional care of the eye for the purpose of diagnosing and correcting refractive errors and includes the measurement, specification, formulation, construction, and dispensing of eyeglasses and related eye-care appliances.

315.03: General Rate Provisions

(1) Rate Determination. The rates for authorized vision care services and ophthalmic materials under .00 are the lower of (a) the provider’s usual fee to patients other than publicly aided or industrial accident patients; or (b) the schedule of allowable fees set forth in .04. (2) Reimbursement as Full Payment. The rates established by .00 are full compensation for vision services provided to publicly aided and industrial-accident patients as well as for any related administrative or supervisory duties in connection with the provision of vision care services without regard to where the services are provided. (3) Bulk Purchase Contract. If the provider is required by the purchasing governmental unit to order material from designated suppliers under a bulk purchase contract, the provider shall bill the purchasing agency only for the relevant dispensing fee.

315.04: Allowable Fees for Vision Care Services

(1) Modifiers. The following modifiers are used to adjust payments under the circumstances noted in .04(1)(a) and (b). (a) -52 Reduced Services. Modifier -52 is used to describe circumstances in which services provided were reduced in comparison to the full description of the service. When a provider does not complete a procedure in its entirety, such as a provider electing to partially reduce or eliminate a service, the procedure must be billed by appending modifier -52 to the service code. The rate for services billed with modifier -52 is 86% of the rate listed in 101 CMR 315.04(2). For example, modifier -52 would be used for a procedure that includes administration of eyedrops when an optometrist who is not certified to distribute eyedrops, performs the procedure. (b) Provider Preventable Conditions. The following modifiers are used to report provider preventable conditions in accordance with 42 CFR. 447.26 and result in nonpayment for services.

Modifier Description PA Surgical or other invasive procedure performed on the wrong body part PB Surgical or other invasive procedure performed on the wrong patient PC Wrong surgical or other invasive procedure performed on a patient
