About 67320: Extraocular muscle transposition procedure
Reports an extraocular muscle transposition performed with a primary strabismus operation to redirect muscle pull and address ocular misalignment.
An extraocular muscle transposition changes the direction of a muscle’s pull to help correct ocular misalignment. An ophthalmologist, often a strabismus surgeon, may perform this maneuver when the surgical plan requires repositioning a muscle or its tendon rather than relying only on a conventional recession or resection. It is performed as part of operative strabismus care, commonly in a facility setting.
Report 67320 only with a primary procedure; it is not a stand-alone service. The operative report should identify the muscle involved, the transposition performed, the clinical reason for changing its pull, and the primary strabismus procedure performed at the encounter. CMS treats this as an add-on paid within the primary procedure’s global period. The record should make clear that a transposition was performed, rather than only a standard muscle recession or resection.

67320 billing questions
Can 67320 be reported by itself?
No. CMS identifies it as an add-on code that must be billed with a primary procedure.
How is a transposition different from a recession or resection?
A transposition redirects the muscle’s pull by changing its position or course. Recession and resection instead adjust the muscle’s effective strength or tension.
What should the operative note document?
Document the muscle treated, the transposition maneuver, its purpose, and the primary strabismus procedure performed during the encounter.
How does the global period affect payment?
CMS includes payment for this add-on within the primary procedure’s global period. Submit it with the primary procedure, not as a separate stand-alone service.
Is 67320 the right choice for routine muscle recession or resection?
No. Use the applicable recession or resection code when that is the procedure performed; 67320 describes an additional transposition maneuver.
