Oculoplastic surgery
About 67550: Secondary orbital implant placement
Reports separate placement of an orbital implant with extraocular muscle attachment in an anophthalmic socket, typically after prior enucleation or evisceration.
An oculoplastic surgeon places an implant in an anophthalmic orbit and attaches the extraocular muscles to it, restoring socket volume and providing support for a prosthetic eye. The service is typically performed in an operating room after enucleation or evisceration when implant placement is done as a separate operation, rather than during globe removal.
Report the service for the orbit treated and document the prior removal of the globe, implant placement, and muscle attachment. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are reduced to 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
