Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 65780 covers

An ophthalmologist, often a cornea specialist, places multiple layers of amniotic membrane on the ocular surface to support reconstruction and healing. This approach may be used for severe surface damage, including a persistent epithelial defect or injury from a chemical or thermal burn. The service is typically performed in an operating room or other surgical setting when the extent of the ocular surface problem calls for multilayer reconstruction.

Report this code when the operative record supports amniotic membrane reconstruction using multiple layers. The documentation should identify the treated eye, the ocular surface condition, and the multilayer technique; do not report separate units for each layer. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, which includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. 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% reduction. Modifier 50 applies to bilateral procedures, paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
