What 67500 covers

An ophthalmologist or other qualified eye-care physician uses this service to deliver medication into the retrobulbar space behind the globe. The route distinguishes it from an injection under the conjunctiva or into the suprachoroidal space. It may be performed in an office or facility when treatment calls for medication to be placed in this specific location; the service is not the anesthetic-agent injection represented by a neighboring code.

Report the injection when documentation identifies the retrobulbar route, the medication administered, and the treated eye. The code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. For bilateral services, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to a 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid, and co-surgeon and team-surgery reporting are not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

67500 billing questions

How is this code distinguished from 67505?

This code reports a retrobulbar medication injection. Code 67505 is for a retrobulbar injection of an anesthetic agent.

What documentation supports reporting this service?

Document the medication, the eye treated, and that the medication was injected into the retrobulbar space. The route helps distinguish this service from other periocular injection codes.

Can both eyes be reported?

For bilateral services, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.

How does the 0-day global period affect same-day care?

Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in the procedure.

What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are paid at 50% under the standard multiple procedure reduction.

Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this code.

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.
