What 67110 covers
A vitreoretinal ophthalmologist typically performs pneumatic retinopexy for a selected retinal detachment. The surgeon injects air or another gas into the eye to press the detached retina back against the eye wall; retinal breaks may also be treated to help seal them. Subretinal fluid drainage, when performed as part of this repair, is included. The procedure is commonly performed in an office or surgical facility, with follow-up positioning instructions to keep the gas bubble against the treated area.
Report 67110 when the repair uses gas injection, rather than a scleral buckle or a vitrectomy-based approach. The operative note should identify the detachment, gas injection, and any drainage or retinal-break treatment performed. CMS 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 other procedures at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

67110 billing questions
When should 67110 be chosen instead of a scleral buckle code?
Use 67110 when gas injection is the method used to repair the detachment. A scleral buckle repair is represented by 67107.
Is subretinal fluid drainage separately reported with 67110?
Drainage performed as part of the pneumatic repair is included in 67110. The operative note should show whether drainage was performed.
What documentation supports reporting 67110?
Document the retinal detachment, the gas injected, and the repair performed, including any drainage or treatment of retinal breaks.
How does the 90-day global period affect follow-up visits?
The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the global period.
How is 67110 handled when another procedure is performed in the same session?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported for 67110?
CMS restricts assistant-at-surgery payment for this code. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
