Ophthalmology

About 67500: Therapeutic retrobulbar injection

Reports medication injected into the retrobulbar space behind the eye when treatment is delivered by this route rather than another periocular approach.

An ophthalmologist or other qualified eye-care physician uses this service to deliver medication into the retrobulbar space behind the globe. The route distinguishes it from an injection under the conjunctiva or into the suprachoroidal space. It may be performed in an office or facility when treatment calls for medication to be placed in this specific location; the service is not the anesthetic-agent injection represented by a neighboring code.

Report the injection when documentation identifies the retrobulbar route, the medication administered, and the treated eye. The code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. For bilateral services, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to a 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid, and co-surgeon and team-surgery reporting are not permitted.
