What 65155 covers
An ophthalmic or oculoplastic surgeon reports this service when a previously placed ocular implant has shifted or come out of position and is surgically returned to the socket. The operative work centers on reinserting the existing implant, rather than placing a new implant or removing the eye as part of the same procedure. These cases are typically managed in an operating room.
The operative report should identify the implant, describe its position or displacement, and document the steps taken to reinsert it. This major surgery has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. For bilateral surgery reported with modifier 50, payment is at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid; 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.

65155 billing questions
When should 65155 be chosen instead of 65130 or 65135?
Use 65155 when the surgical service is reinsertion of an existing ocular implant. Codes 65130 and 65135 describe insertion of an implant, rather than returning an existing implant to position.
How does reinsertion differ from implant revision?
65155 describes reinserting the implant. Consider 65150 when the work is revision of the implant rather than reinsertion.
What documentation supports 65155?
The operative note should establish that an ocular implant was already present, describe its displacement or position, and record the reinsertion performed.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How is 65155 paid when other procedures are performed in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Bilateral surgery reported with modifier 50 is paid at 150%.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid for this code. Co-surgeons and team surgery are 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.
