The Cost of Standard and Complex Pars Plana Vitrectomy for Retinal Detachment Repair Exceeds Its Reimbursement.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To measure the total costs and reimbursements associated with standard and complex pars plana vitrectomy using time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC).

Design

Economic analysis at a single academic institution.

Subjects

Patients who underwent standard or complex pars plana vitrectomy (PPV; Current Procedural Terminology codes 67108 and 67113) at the University of Michigan in the calendar year 2021.

Methods

Process flow mapping for standard and complex PPVs was used to determine the operative components. The internal anesthesia record system was used to calculate time estimates, and financial calculations were constructed from published literature and internal sources. A TDABC analysis was used to determine the costs of standard and complex PPVs. Av
