What 67505 covers

An ophthalmologist or other qualified eye-care physician uses this service to deliver medication into the retrobulbar space behind the globe. A typical clinical use is a therapeutic corticosteroid injection for orbital inflammation. The injection is distinct from placing medication beneath the conjunctiva or into the suprachoroidal space, and from an injection performed solely to provide anesthesia. It may be performed in an office or facility setting when the retrobulbar route is clinically selected.

Select this code based on the therapeutic purpose and retrobulbar injection site, not simply because medication was given near the eye. Documentation should identify the medication, treatment indication, route and site, and the eye treated. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. For bilateral treatment, 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 the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery 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.

67505 billing questions

How is 67505 different from 67500?

67505 is for therapeutic medication injected retrobulbarly. 67500 describes a retrobulbar injection of anesthetic agent.

When should 67515 be reported instead?

Use 67515 when the therapeutic medication is injected beneath the conjunctiva. The injection site, not just the medication, distinguishes it from the retrobulbar route in 67505.

Does the 0-day global period include same-day care?

Yes. Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in the procedure's 0-day global period.

How is bilateral treatment paid?

CMS lists this as a bilateral procedure; modifier 50 is paid at 150%.

Can 67505 be reported with another procedure in the same session?

When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% reduction.

What documentation supports 67505?

Document the therapeutic purpose, medication, retrobulbar route and site, and the eye treated. The record should distinguish treatment from an anesthetic injection or medication delivered at another site.

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.
