What 67825 covers

An ophthalmologist or other qualified eye-care surgeon uses a non-forceps method, such as electrolysis, cryotherapy, or laser treatment, to address lashes growing toward and irritating the eye. The procedure is commonly performed in an office or outpatient setting when lash misdirection requires more than forceps epilation. The selected method distinguishes this service from forceps removal and from procedures that incise or reposition the eyelid margin.

Report the service when the clinician documents trichiasis, the treated side, and the non-forceps technique used. Medicare assigns a 10-day global period, so related postoperative visits during that period are included. For bilateral treatment, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, Medicare pays the highest-valued procedure in full and reduces the others to 50%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery; co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.

67825 billing questions

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.
