2025 HCPCS code V2745
Addition to lens; tint, any color, solid, gradient, excludes photochromatic, any lens material, per lens.
Medical necessity must be documented for coverage. While cosmetic tints are generally not covered, tints for medical reasons, such as light sensitivity or certain eye conditions, may be covered with appropriate documentation.
In simple words: This code covers adding a colored tint to eyeglass lenses, except for lenses that darken automatically in sunlight. It covers any color tint, whether it's a solid color or a gradient, and it can be used with any type of lens material.
This code covers the application of a tint of any color, solid or gradient, to a lens, excluding photochromatic lenses. It applies to all lens materials and designs, such as bifocal or trifocal lenses.
Example 1: A patient with light sensitivity requires a solid gray tint added to their prescription lenses., A patient requests a gradient tint, with a darker tint at the top fading to a lighter tint at the bottom of their lenses for cosmetic purposes., A patient who spends a lot of time outdoors needs a brown tint added to their bifocal lenses to reduce glare.
Documentation should support the medical necessity of the tint, especially when not solely for cosmetic reasons. For example, a diagnosis of light sensitivity or other medical condition necessitating the tint should be documented.
