Billing for Corneal Tissue
Corneal tissue will be paid on a cost basis, not under OPPS, only when it is used in a
corneal transplant procedure described by one of the following CPT codes: 65710, 65730,
65750, 65755, 65756, 65765, 65767, and any successor code or new code describing a
new type of corneal transplant procedure that uses eye banked corneal tissue. In all other
procedures cornea tissue is packaged. To receive cost based reimbursement hospitals
must bill charges for corneal tissue using HCPCS code V2785.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
