    suppression, cyclodeviation and retinal correspondence. An orthoptic assessment is eligible for
    payment in addition to an ophthalmology consultation or visit.

    are documented in the patient’s permanent medical record.
     [Commentary:
     If a certified orthoptist is rendering the examination, G814 may be eligible for payment (page
