What 21077 covers

This service captures the patient’s orbital defect and prepares a custom prosthesis to restore the external appearance of the eye and surrounding orbital area. It is typically performed by a maxillofacial prosthodontist or other clinician with specialized facial prosthetic training, often after orbital exenteration for cancer or after traumatic loss. The prosthesis is distinct from a replacement for the globe alone because it addresses the broader orbital defect.

Report 21077 for the orbital prosthesis impression and custom preparation, supported by documentation of the defect and the patient-specific prosthetic work. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, which includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care through day 90. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are reduced to 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

21077 billing questions

When should 21077 be chosen instead of an ocular prosthesis service?

Use 21077 for a custom prosthesis addressing an orbital defect, including surrounding external structures. A prosthesis replacing only the eye itself is not the orbital prosthesis described by this code.

How does 21077 differ from 21088?

21077 is specific to an orbital prosthesis. 21088 is for a facial prosthesis when the prosthetic site is facial rather than orbital.

Does the 90-day global period include related postoperative care?

Yes. The CMS global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.

How is bilateral 21077 reported?

For bilateral orbital prostheses, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.

Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment is allowed only when medical necessity is documented. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

What happens when 21077 is performed with another procedure in the same session?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures in that session are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
