What 67805 covers
An ophthalmologist typically reports this procedure when treating multiple chalazia on different eyelids. A chalazion is a localized lump caused by blockage and inflammation of an eyelid’s meibomian gland. Treatment generally involves opening the affected area and curetting the obstructed material, often in an office setting. This code distinguishes lesions on different eyelids from multiple chalazia confined to one eyelid.
Document the chalazia treated and identify the different eyelids involved; the number and location of lesions support selection of this code over a single-lesion or same-eyelid code. CMS assigns a 10-day global period, so related postoperative visits during that period are included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

67805 billing questions
When should 67805 be selected instead of 67801?
Use 67805 for multiple chalazia on different eyelids. Use 67801 when multiple chalazia are treated on the same eyelid.
Can modifier 50 be added when both eyes are treated?
No. The code describes treatment of multiple chalazia on different eyelids, and CMS identifies modifier 50 as inappropriate.
Are related postoperative visits separately reported during the global period?
Related postoperative visits for 10 days are included in the procedure’s global period.
How should the record support reporting 67805?
Document the chalazia treated and the different eyelids on which they were located. This distinguishes the service from treatment of multiple lesions on one eyelid.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported for this procedure?
Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
