About 67414: Orbital decompression without bone flap
Reports orbital decompression through an orbitotomy without a bone flap, commonly to relieve proptosis or pressure related to thyroid eye disease.
An ophthalmic or oculoplastic surgeon performs an orbitotomy without raising a bone flap to create additional orbital space. A common setting is treatment of thyroid eye disease when proptosis or pressure on the optic nerve calls for orbital decompression. The operative approach and tissue work distinguish this service from decompression performed through a lateral bone flap or window.
Report the code when the operative note supports decompression without a bone flap, including the indication, approach, and work performed. It has a 90-day global period that includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
