Ophthalmic surgery
About 67314: Single vertical muscle strabismus surgery
Reports strabismus surgery that repositions or shortens one qualifying vertical eye muscle, excluding the superior oblique, to correct ocular misalignment.
An ophthalmic surgeon uses this code when operating on one qualifying vertical extraocular muscle to correct strabismus, or misalignment of the eyes. The operation changes the muscle’s position or effective length to adjust its pull on the eye. It is used for vertical misalignment when the procedure involves one muscle in this code’s scope; surgery on the superior oblique is classified separately. These cases are commonly performed in an operating room, with the operative report identifying the muscle and the work performed.
Choose the code by the number and orientation of muscles treated, and document the operated muscle, laterality, and surgical technique. This is major surgery with a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. For bilateral surgery, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this procedure; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

How is this code distinguished from surgery on two vertical muscles?
This code describes work on one qualifying vertical muscle. When two or more vertical muscles are treated, compare the operative details with the code for multiple vertical muscles.

The operative report should identify the muscle treated, the side, the strabismus being corrected, and whether the surgeon repositioned or shortened the muscle.
How is bilateral surgery handled?
For a bilateral procedure, modifier 50 is paid at 150% under the CMS facts provided. Document the procedure on both sides.
What payment rules apply when other procedures are performed in the same session?
