About 67041: Pars plana vitrectomy with membrane peel
Reports pars plana vitrectomy with peeling of a preretinal cellular membrane, typically for symptomatic epiretinal membrane or macular pucker.
A vitreoretinal surgeon removes vitreous through a pars plana approach and peels a cellular membrane from the retinal surface. The procedure is commonly performed for an epiretinal membrane, also called macular pucker, which can distort central vision. It is generally an operating-room procedure, most often in a facility setting.
Report 67041 when the operative service includes vitrectomy and removal of a preretinal cellular membrane; the operative note should identify the membrane and document its removal. The service has a 90-day global period, including 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 other procedures at 50%. For bilateral surgery reported with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
