What 67830 covers

This procedure corrects trichiasis, in which eyelashes grow or turn toward the eye and can rub the ocular surface. The ophthalmologist or oculoplastic surgeon incises the eyelid margin to alter lash direction; it is distinct from removing lashes with forceps or another epilation method. It may be performed in an office procedure room or a facility, depending on the patient and surgical setting.

Report this code when the operative technique involves incision of the lid margin, rather than epilation or incision with a mucous membrane graft. The record should identify the affected eyelid, document inward or misdirected lashes and their ocular effect, and describe the incision-based correction. CMS assigns a 10-day global period, including related postoperative visits during that period. For bilateral treatment, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; 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.

67830 billing questions

When should 67830 be chosen over 67820 or 67825?

Choose 67830 when the surgeon corrects trichiasis by incising the eyelid margin. Codes 67820 and 67825 describe epilation methods rather than this incision-based repair.

How does 67830 differ from 67835?

67830 describes incision of the lid margin without the graft distinction. The related code 67835 includes a free mucous membrane graft.

Are related postoperative visits separately reported?

Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in the procedure payment.

How is bilateral 67830 reported under the CMS payment rule?

Report modifier 50 for bilateral treatment; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.

What payment rules apply when another procedure is performed in the same session?

Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

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.
