What 67101 covers

An ophthalmologist, often a retina specialist, applies transscleral cryotherapy to retinal breaks associated with an established detachment, creating an adhesion intended to seal the break. Drainage of subretinal fluid is included when performed. This approach differs from treating an isolated retinal tear before detachment and from repairs using a scleral buckle, vitrectomy, or injected gas. It may be performed in an office or surgical facility, depending on the case and setting.

Report 67101 when the documented repair uses cryotherapy. The operative note should establish the detachment, identify the treated break or breaks, and describe the cryotherapy and any fluid drainage. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included. For multiple procedures in one session, Medicare pays the highest-valued procedure in full and the others at 50%; bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Can subretinal fluid drainage be billed separately?

No. Drainage of subretinal fluid is included in 67101 when performed.

When is 67101 preferable to 67141?

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
