What 67028 covers

A retina specialist or ophthalmologist injects medication through the pars plana into the vitreous cavity after ocular anesthesia and antiseptic preparation, often using a lid speculum. Intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment is common for neovascular age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, and macular edema from retinal vein occlusion; steroids and antibiotics are other possible agents. Injections occur primarily in the office but may also take place in an outpatient facility. The procedure code captures the injection; the medication supplied is reported separately under its applicable HCPCS drug code.

For one treated eye, report one unit with RT or LT; for both eyes in the same session, report one unit with modifier 50, paid at 150% of the unilateral amount. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, including same-day preoperative and postoperative care; a separately identifiable E/M requires modifier 25. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued is paid in full and others at 50%. Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
