Wiki Need code range for MIGS procedures

[Timothy S]

Hi,

Could anyone provide CPT codes for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery.

Standard glaucoma surgeries — trabeculectomy and ExPRESS shunts, external tube-shunts like the Ahmed and Baerveldt styles — are major surgeries

thanks in advance.

It depends

I believe that, right now, the code you use depends on the specific implant used for the MIGS. I would contact the manufacturer of the device being used and they should be able to give you specifics.
