About 67332: Strabismus surgery with restrictive myopathy
Add-on reporting for strabismus surgery complicated by restrictive extraocular muscle myopathy, such as thyroid eye disease, when one or more muscles require operative correction.
An ophthalmologist reports this add-on when correcting strabismus in the presence of restrictive myopathy, which limits extraocular muscle movement. Thyroid eye disease is a common clinical setting. The operation may correct one or more restricted muscles through recession or another strabismus procedure. This code captures the added circumstance of restrictive myopathy; the primary procedure code identifies the main muscle operation.
Report 67332 only with a primary strabismus procedure, not by itself. Select it when the record supports restrictive myopathy, rather than relying only on a history of eye surgery, muscle scarring, or the number of muscles treated. The operative report should identify the myopathy, affected muscle or muscles, and corrective work, and the primary code should reflect the procedure performed. CMS pays this add-on within the primary procedure’s global period. For a bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50, CMS payment is 150%.
