What 66825 covers

This service corrects a malpositioned or displaced intraocular lens implant by surgically restoring its position. An ophthalmologist typically performs the procedure in an operating room or other surgical setting when the implant’s position requires operative correction. The key distinction is that the existing lens is repositioned, not removed and exchanged for another implant.

Report the service when the operative documentation identifies the implanted lens and describes its displacement and repositioning. The CMS global period is 90 days; the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. For bilateral services, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
