Ophthalmic surgery
About 65710: Lamellar corneal transplant
Reports a partial-thickness corneal transplant that replaces diseased corneal layers while retaining healthy host layers, rather than replacing the full cornea.
An ophthalmic surgeon performs a lamellar corneal transplant to replace diseased corneal tissue while preserving healthy layers of the patient’s cornea. The graft is partial thickness, distinguishing this operation from a full-thickness penetrating transplant. It is generally performed in an operating room, with the surgeon documenting the corneal condition and the layers replaced.
Select this code when the operative report supports a lamellar transplant; use the applicable penetrating or endothelial transplant code when the documented technique is different. The 90-day 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 at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

65710 billing questions
How does this differ from a penetrating corneal transplant?
This code is for a partial-thickness lamellar graft that preserves healthy host layers. A penetrating transplant replaces the full thickness of the cornea and is reported with the code matching the patient’s lens status.
What documentation supports selecting the lamellar code?
The operative report should describe the transplant technique and identify the corneal tissue layers replaced and retained. A diagnosis alone does not establish that the procedure was lamellar.
Are related postoperative visits separately included?
Related postoperative care during the 90-day global period is included, as is the day-before preoperative visit. The global period does not include unrelated services.
How is the code reported when both eyes are treated?
For a bilateral procedure, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and 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.
