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

What 66930 covers

This code describes intracapsular removal of a crystalline lens that has become dislocated. Ophthalmic surgeons may perform the procedure when the lens has shifted from its normal position and requires surgical extraction; it is distinct from routine cataract surgery on a lens in its usual position. The operative report should establish the dislocation and document the extraction technique and surgical details.

Select this code for the dislocated-lens indication and intracapsular approach, not by the amount of lens material removed alone. The 90-day global period includes 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 multiple-procedure reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
