Riboflavin 5'-phosphate eye drops solution, up to 3 milliliters

This code represents the ophthalmic solution of riboflavin 5'-phosphate, a vitamin B2 derivative, used in ophthalmology. It is primarily utilized as a photosensitizer in corneal cross-linking procedures. This solution strengthens corneal tissue by inducing new collagen cross-links when activated by ultraviolet-A (UVA) light.

This code is used when riboflavin 5'-phosphate ophthalmic solution is administered during corneal cross-linking (CXL) procedures, typically for conditions like progressive keratoconus or corneal ectasia. Documentation should clearly state the use of this specific ophthalmic solution, its concentration, and the volume administered (up to 3 ml) during the CXL procedure.

• Ensure documentation specifies "riboflavin 5'-phosphate" and not just "riboflavin" to differentiate from other forms.
• This code is for the drug itself and should be billed in conjunction with the CPT code for the corneal cross-linking procedure.
• Verify the quantity administered; this code covers up to 3 ml. If more than 3 ml is used, consult payer-specific guidelines for billing additional units or alternative codes.
