Ophthalmic surgery
About 67010: Partial anterior vitrectomy
Reports partial removal of vitreous through an anterior eye approach, commonly to clear vitreous prolapse into the anterior segment during eye surgery.
An ophthalmologist performs this procedure to remove part of the vitreous through an anterior approach, such as a limbal incision or open-sky technique. A common situation is vitreous prolapse into the anterior chamber during cataract surgery, when vitreous must be cleared from the front of the eye. The service is generally performed in an operating room or other surgical setting.
Select this code for partial, rather than subtotal, anterior removal. The operative note should support the indication, anterior route, and extent of removal; document any separately performed cataract procedure as well. The code has 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 require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

67010 billing questions
How do I choose between 67010 and 67005?
Both describe anterior vitreous removal. Choose 67010 for partial removal and 67005 when the documented removal is subtotal.
Can 67010 be reported with cataract extraction?
It may be reported when a distinct anterior vitrectomy is performed along with cataract extraction. Document the vitreous prolapse and the separate work, and check applicable bundling edits.
How does 67010 differ from 67015?
67010 describes partial removal through an anterior approach. 67015 is for aspiration or release of vitreous through a pars plana approach.
What documentation supports 67010?
The operative report should identify why vitreous removal was needed, the anterior approach used, and that the removal was partial rather than subtotal.
What global and multiple-procedure rules apply?
The code has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. In a same-session multiple-procedure claim, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be paid for this procedure?
Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted. Co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
