HCPCS Code V2781: Progressive Lens, Per Lens

HCPCS code V2781 is for a progressive lens billed per lens, used in vision services and insurance billing.

Progressive glasses are typically billed using HCPCS code V2781 (often referred to as the V2781 CPT code for billing purposes) for the lens. There is no separate CPT code for progressive lenses. This code is used when progressive lenses correct vision by providing a seamless transition across distances, offering an alternative to line bifocals or multifocal lenses.

Anti-glare lenses are billed using HCPCS codes specific to lens coatings—most commonly V2750 for anti-reflective coating, billed per lens. There is no universal CPT code for anti-glare lenses. This coating helps reduce glare and improve clarity, especially for tasks that require clear vision from intermediate to far vision. Providers should check payer guidelines for coverage specifics and documentation requirements.
