CPT Codes For Intraocular Lens Procedures

Below is a list summarizing the CPT codes for intraocular lens procedures.

CPT Code 66982

CPT 66982 describes a complex extracapsular cataract removal with insertion of intraocular lens prosthesis (1-stage procedure) that requires devices or techniques not generally used in routine cataract surgery, such as an iris expansion device, suture support for the intraocular lens, or primary posterior capsulorrhexis. It is performed on patients in the amblyogenic developmental stage without endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation.

CPT Code 66983

CPT 66983 describes Intracapsular cataract extraction with insertion of intraocular lens prosthesis as a one-stage procedure.

CPT Code 66984

CPT 66984 describes extracapsular cataract removal with insertion of intraocular lens prosthesis (1-stage procedure), performed using either manual or mechanical technique (e.g., irrigation and aspiration or phacoemulsification), without endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation.

CPT Code 66985

CPT 66985 describes the insertion of an intraocular lens prosthesis (secondary implant) not associated with concurrent cataract removal.

CPT Code 66986

CPT 66986 describes the exchange of an intraocular lens.

CPT Code 66987

CPT 66987 describes extracapsular cataract removal with insertion of intraocular lens prosthesis (1-stage procedure), manual or mechanical technique (e.g., irrigation and aspiration or phacoemulsification), complex, requiring devices or techniques not generally used in routine cataract surgery (e.g., iris expansion device, suture support for the intraocular lens, or primary posterior capsulorrhexis) or performed on patients in the amblyogenic developmental stage, along with endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation.

CPT Code 66988

CPT 66988 describes extracapsular cataract removal with insertion of intraocular lens prosthesis (1-stage procedure) using a manual or mechanical technique (e.g., irrigation and aspiration or phacoemulsification) and endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation.

CPT Code 66989

CPT 66989 describes extracapsular cataract removal with insertion of intraocular lens prosthesis (1-stage procedure), manual or mechanical technique (e.g., irrigation and aspiration or phacoemulsification), complex, requiring devices or techniques not generally used in routine cataract surgery (e.g., iris expansion device, suture support for the intraocular lens, or primary posterior capsulorrhexis) or performed on patients in the amblyogenic developmental stage, as well as the insertion of intraocular (e.g., trabecular meshwork, supraciliary, suprachoroidal) anterior segment aqueous drainage device, without extraocular reservoir, internal approach, one or more.

CPT Code 66991

CPT 66991 describes extracapsular cataract removal with insertion of intraocular lens prosthesis (1-stage procedure), manual or mechanical technique (e.g., irrigation and aspiration or phacoemulsification), with insertion of intraocular (e.g., trabecular meshwork, supraciliary, suprachoroidal) anterior segment aqueous drainage device, without extraocular reservoir, internal approach, one or more.
