# CPT 67028

> Medicare paid $103.72 for CPT 67028 in the office (non-facility) setting and $102.28 in a facility under the Q3 2017 Physician Fee Schedule, effective July 2017. These are the national allowed amounts before the ~2% sequestration cut and before locality (GPCI) adjustment. This price has been unchanged since Q1 2017, when it increased 0.2%.

## What it is

An injection of drug straight into the vitreous, the clear gel filling the back of the eye. After numbing drops and an antiseptic prep, a very fine needle passes through the white of the eye a few millimeters behind the iris and delivers the medicine where it can act directly on the retina. It is an office procedure that takes seconds, and it is usually repeated on a schedule of weeks to months for as long as the underlying disease stays active. The code covers the act of injecting; the drug itself is a separate matter.
