What 65130 covers

An ophthalmic or oculoplastic surgeon inserts an implant into an anophthalmic socket and attaches the extraocular muscles to the implant. This is distinct from removing the eye and placing an implant during the same operation. The service is generally performed in an operating room when a patient needs implant placement in a socket after a prior eye removal or other circumstance leaving the socket without an implant.

Select this code when the operative report supports both implant insertion and attachment of the muscles; use the sibling code when the muscles are not attached. Document the socket and implant work, the muscle attachment, and whether another procedure was performed in the same session. Medicare includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care in the global period. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are reduced. Modifier 50 bilateral reporting is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeon payment requires 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.

65130 billing questions

How does this differ from 65135?

Use 65130 when the extraocular muscles are attached to the inserted implant. Use 65135 when the implant is inserted without attaching the muscles.

Is this the code for implant placement during enucleation?

No. When the eye is removed and an implant is placed during that operation, consider the enucleation code that includes implant placement, such as 65103 when its requirements are met.

What documentation supports reporting 65130?

The operative report should establish that an ocular implant was inserted and that the extraocular muscles were attached to it. Document the socket and any other procedures performed in the same session.

Can the surgeon report routine postoperative visits separately?

Related postoperative care during the 90-day global period is included. The day-before preoperative visit is also included.

How are bilateral procedures and assistant surgeons handled?

CMS pays bilateral reporting with modifier 50 at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

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

Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the other procedures are paid at 50%.

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.
