What 65093 covers

In this operation, the surgeon removes the contents of the eye but leaves the scleral shell in place and places an implant within it. Ophthalmologists typically perform the procedure in a surgical facility for conditions such as a blind, painful eye when evisceration is selected. The implant supports the appearance and volume of the eye socket; a prosthetic eye may be fitted after healing.

Report 65093 when the operative record supports evisceration with implant placement, not removal of the entire globe. Documentation should identify the procedure performed and the implant. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to a 50% reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is 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.

65093 billing questions

How does 65093 differ from 65091?

Both describe evisceration, which retains the scleral shell. Use 65093 when an implant is placed; 65091 is the sibling code for evisceration without an implant.

When would 65103 be considered instead?

65103 describes enucleation with an implant, which removes the entire globe. Use 65093 when the surgeon removes the ocular contents but retains the scleral shell.

Is implant placement included in 65093?

Yes. The service represented by 65093 includes evisceration with implant placement; the operative documentation should support both.

What postoperative care is included in the global period?

CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.

How is bilateral reporting handled?

CMS identifies this as a bilateral procedure; reporting modifier 50 is paid at 150%.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted. Co-surgeons are paid only when supporting documentation is provided, and team surgery is not permitted.

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.
