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

What 65875 covers

This service involves surgically cutting extensive adhesions within the eye’s anterior segment, excluding synechiae. Adhesions may involve structures such as the iris, cornea, or lens. An ophthalmologist typically performs the procedure in an operating room when adhesions require mechanical release; the operative report should identify the affected structures and describe the extent and technique. This code distinguishes extensive mechanical treatment from less extensive work and laser treatment in the related anterior-segment adhesiolysis codes.

Report the code when the documented procedure supports extensive mechanical adhesiolysis, rather than a different method or extent. Medicare assigns 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% reduction. For bilateral reporting with modifier 50, payment is at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
