Ophthalmology surgery
About 67334: Suture-based extraocular muscle revision
Reports suture-based revision of an extraocular muscle as an add-on during strabismus surgery, when the operative work supports this additional service.
An ophthalmologist typically reports this add-on during strabismus surgery when the operative work includes revision of an extraocular muscle with suture. The service is associated with surgical correction of misalignment, such as when an eye muscle is revised as part of an operation to improve eye alignment. The operative report should identify the muscle and describe the suture-based revision performed.
Report 67334 only with a primary procedure; it is not a stand-alone service. The primary strabismus procedure establishes the main operation, while this code captures the additional suture-based muscle work. Documentation should make the added work clear rather than merely mention sutures as part of the primary procedure. CMS pays this add-on within the primary procedure’s global period. For a bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50, CMS pays 150% of the applicable amount.
