Ophthalmology surgery
About 65101: Enucleation without orbital implant
Reports surgical removal of the entire globe without placement of an orbital implant, such as for an eye with a painful blind condition or intraocular disease.
This procedure removes the entire eyeball while leaving the surrounding orbital tissues in place; no orbital implant is placed during the operation. An ophthalmologist, often an oculoplastic surgeon, typically performs it in an operating room. Clinical situations may include a painful, blind eye or an eye affected by disease requiring removal. The operative note should establish that the globe was removed intact rather than its contents evacuated, and document that no implant was placed.
Report the code for the eye treated and support the service with the indication, operative findings, and implant status. The major-surgery global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. 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 multiple-procedure reduction. For bilateral surgery, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

65101 billing questions
How does this differ from enucleation with an implant?
Use 65101 when the entire globe is removed and no orbital implant is placed during the operation. Codes 65103 and 65105 describe enucleation with an implant.
How do I distinguish this from evisceration?
Enucleation removes the entire globe. Evisceration removes the contents while retaining the scleral shell, so it is not reported with 65101.
Is routine postoperative care separately billable?
Related postoperative care during the 90-day global period is included, as is the day-before preoperative visit.
What is the bilateral payment rule?
When both eyes are treated, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150% under the supplied rule.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
What documentation supports choosing 65101?
Document removal of the entire globe, the clinical indication, the eye treated, and that no orbital implant was placed.
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.
