Ophthalmology procedure

About 67028: Intravitreal injection of medication

Intravitreal medication injection through the pars plana is reported for a treated eye, commonly for neovascular macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, or retinal vein occlusion.

A retina specialist or ophthalmologist injects medication through the pars plana into the vitreous cavity after ocular anesthesia and antiseptic preparation, often using a lid speculum. Intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment is common for neovascular age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, and macular edema from retinal vein occlusion; steroids and antibiotics are other possible agents. Injections occur primarily in the office but may also take place in an outpatient facility. The procedure code captures the injection; the medication supplied is reported separately under its applicable HCPCS drug code.

Document laterality, medication and dose, indication, and injection technique. For one treated eye, report one unit with RT or LT; for both eyes in the same session, report one unit with modifier 50, paid at 150% of the unilateral amount. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, including same-day preoperative and postoperative care; a separately identifiable E/M requires modifier 25. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued is paid in full and others at 50%. Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

67028 billing questions

Is the drug included in this code?

No. The code covers the injection procedure. Bill the medication separately using its applicable HCPCS code, such as J0178 for aflibercept or J2778 for ranibizumab, with units based on the dose supplied.

How are injections in both eyes in the same session billed to Medicare?

Report one procedure unit with modifier 50, which CMS pays at 150% of the unilateral amount. Report drug units based on the dose supplied for both eyes.

Can an office visit be billed on the injection day?

Yes, if the documentation supports a significant, separately identifiable E/M service beyond routine injection-related assessment and care; append modifier 25 to the E/M code. A planned injection visit with only brief pre-injection assessment is included in the 0-day global period.

Can retinal OCT be billed on an injection day?

Retinal OCT (92134) may be reported on the same date when it is medically necessary to assess the retina and its interpretation is documented.

Should this code be reported for a drug injected during vitrectomy?

An injection integral to a vitrectomy in the same eye is not reported separately as 67028. Use 67028 for a distinct intravitreal injection service.

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.
