Wiki IStent repositioning

[juliagreen1968@gmail.com]

We have a physician that did an IStent repositioning for a dislocated stent and added a second IStent. According to our IStent rep, the code to use for the repositioning is 66999 (Unlisted procedure, anterior segment of eye). We are under the impression that this is not a payable code. The rep also stated that there is no ASC payment for this code but there is HOPD payment. It does not state anything about payment for the physician.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated!

Without anymore info. I would bill 0191T with the modifier unplanned return. An new stent was placed.

Thank you for your input! That is how we decided to proceed.
