What 65114 covers
This code represents eye removal performed with reconstruction of the orbital socket. An ophthalmologist, often an oculoplastic surgeon, typically performs the operation in a surgical facility when the patient needs removal of the eye and substantial socket work during the same procedure. The operative report should make clear what was removed and describe the reconstructive work performed.
Choose this service when the documented operation includes socket reconstruction, rather than reporting a code for removal alone or removal with an implant alone. The code has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

65114 billing questions
How does this differ from a code for eye removal alone?
Use this code when the operation also includes socket reconstruction. A removal-only code describes a different operative scope.
How should the operative report support this code?
Document the eye-removal procedure and the socket reconstruction performed. The record should show why the service involved more than removal alone.
Does the 90-day global period include postoperative care?
Yes. The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included.
Can the service be reported bilaterally?
For a bilateral procedure, modifier 50 is paid at 150% under the CMS facts for this code.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid. Co-surgeon payment requires 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 indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
