What 67810 covers

An ophthalmologist, often an oculoplastic surgeon, takes a tissue sample from eyelid skin or the lid margin for diagnostic evaluation. Typical situations include a suspicious, changing, ulcerated, or nonhealing eyelid growth. The service may be performed in an office or facility setting, and the sample is submitted for tissue examination. This code describes obtaining a biopsy sample, not removing the entire lesion as treatment.

Report 67810 when the procedure is an incisional biopsy of eyelid skin or margin; document the sampled site, the lesion’s clinical appearance, and that tissue was obtained for diagnosis. The CMS global period is 0 days, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. For bilateral procedures, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

67810 billing questions

When should 67810 be chosen instead of 67840?

Use 67810 when tissue is sampled for diagnosis. Use 67840 when the eyelid lesion is excised rather than sampled.

Does 67810 include removal of the whole lesion?

No. It represents an incisional biopsy sample; document a complete excision separately when that is the service performed.

How is a bilateral eyelid biopsy reported?

CMS recognizes modifier 50 for bilateral reporting and pays the procedure at 150%. Document the eyelid sites sampled.

What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?

Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and the others at 50%.

Is same-day postoperative care separately included?

No. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
