Ophthalmic surgery
About 66682: Iris and ciliary body repair with lens fixation
Reports surgical repair of the iris or ciliary body that includes suture fixation of an intraocular lens, such as after structural disruption.
An ophthalmologist uses this service to repair damaged or detached iris or ciliary body tissue while securing an intraocular lens with sutures. A typical setting is the operating room, where the surgeon addresses structural disruption such as an iris root separation and stabilizes the lens as part of the repair. The code distinguishes this work from iris repair without suture fixation of an intraocular lens and from implantation of an iris prosthesis.
Report the service when the operative note supports repair of the iris or ciliary body and suture fixation of the lens. The note should describe the damaged structures, the repair performed, and the lens fixation. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
