No, it is not a part of that code; however, if you code 67113 then you have a CCI for the pars plana vitrectomy codes (67036, 67039-67043), so something to keep in mind.

Yes offcourse its a integral part of the code 67113,

CPT code 67113 is described as: Repair of complex retinal detachment (eg, proliferation vitreoretinopathy, stage C-1 or greater, diabetic, traction retinal detachment, retinopathy of prematurity, retinal tear of greater than 90 degrees), with vitrectomy and membrane peeling; may include air, gas or silicone oil tamponade, cryotherapy, endolaser photocoagulation, drainage of subretinal fluid, scleral bucking, and/or removal of lens.

We can't code 67113 along with vitrectomy code.

To report vitrectomy, Pars Plana approach, other than in retinal detachment see 67036-67043

Hi all, when coding 67113; what code do I use to replace the IOL at time of surgery?
