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

What 67025 covers

An ophthalmologist, often a retina surgeon, performs this procedure through a pars plana or limbal approach. The surgeon aspirates vitreous and introduces a substitute, such as gas, to exchange the eye’s internal fluid. It may be used in retinal care when an exchange is needed, including in selected retinal detachment cases. The service is generally performed in an operating room or ambulatory surgery setting.

Report the procedure when the operative work includes both vitreous aspiration and replacement with a substitute; aspiration or release alone and mechanical vitrectomy are distinct services. The operative note should identify the indication, eye, approach, aspiration, and substitute placed. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 for bilateral surgery is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted by statute; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
