Keratoprosthesis (CPT code 65770) is reimbursable for the treatment of corneal blindness after standard corneal transplant involving tissue transplanted from human donors has failed or when such a transplant would be unlikely to succeed.
Treatment Authorization Request (TAR) is required for a blepharoplasty procedure and/or a repair for blepharoptosis. When requesting a TAR or a Service Authorization Request (SAR), providers must include documentation of the patient complaints and either a photograph or the visual field examination printout.
HCPCS code L8608 (miscellaneous external component, supply or accessory for use with the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System) is limited to two in a lifetime, one per eye. Modifier LT or RT is required on the claim.
The insertion of an ocular telescope prosthesis with removal of crystalline lens is reimbursable with CPT code 66999 (unlisted procedure, anterior segment, eye) when billed in conjunction with HCPCS codes C1839 (iris prosthesis) and C1840 (lens, intraocular, [telescopic]).
Surgical intervention is not often indicated less than 90 days after cataract surgery.
