Ophthalmology surgery

About 67025: Vitreous substitute fluid-gas exchange

Reports aspiration of vitreous followed by placement of a vitreous substitute, commonly for a retinal condition requiring fluid-gas exchange.

An ophthalmologist, often a retina surgeon, performs this procedure through a pars plana or limbal approach. The surgeon aspirates vitreous and introduces a substitute, such as gas, to exchange the eye’s internal fluid. It may be used in retinal care when an exchange is needed, including in selected retinal detachment cases. The service is generally performed in an operating room or ambulatory surgery setting.

Report the procedure when the operative work includes both vitreous aspiration and replacement with a substitute; aspiration or release alone and mechanical vitrectomy are distinct services. The operative note should identify the indication, eye, approach, aspiration, and substitute placed. Medicare 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 others at 50%. Modifier 50 for bilateral surgery is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted by statute; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

67025 billing questions

When should this be reported instead of 67015?

Report 67025 when the surgeon aspirates vitreous and replaces it with a vitreous substitute. Code 67015 describes aspiration or release without that replacement.

Is vitreous aspiration included in this service?

Yes. Aspiration is part of the vitreous exchange service; do not separately report aspiration for the same work.

How does this differ from 67036?

67025 centers on vitreous aspiration and substitute placement. Use 67036 when the documented service is mechanical pars plana vitrectomy.

What documentation supports reporting this code?

The operative report should establish the indication, treated eye, pars plana or limbal approach, vitreous aspiration, and placement of a substitute.

How is bilateral surgery handled?

CMS pays bilateral reporting with modifier 50 at 150%. The code also has a 90-day global period.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted by statute. Co-surgeons are paid only when supporting documentation is provided; 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.
