What 67840 covers
An ophthalmologist or oculoplastic surgeon typically reports this procedure when removing a non-chalazion lesion from the upper or lower eyelid. Examples include an eyelid papilloma or cyst removed by excision. The procedure may leave the site open or use simple direct closure; more involved eyelid reconstruction is a different service. A specimen may be sent for examination, but the excision itself is the service represented here.
Choose this code when documentation supports removal of the lesion rather than an incisional biopsy, destruction, or treatment of a chalazion. Record the eyelid site, lesion, excision performed, and closure method. CMS assigns a 10-day global period, so related postoperative visits during that period are included. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid under the statutory restriction; 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.

67840 billing questions
When should 67840 be used instead of 67810?
Use 67840 when the eyelid lesion is excised. Use 67810 when the service is an incisional biopsy rather than removal of the lesion.
Can 67840 be used for a chalazion?
No. This code is for a non-chalazion eyelid lesion; chalazion excision is represented by the appropriate chalazion code, such as 67800 for a single chalazion.
Is simple closure included in 67840?
Yes. The service includes leaving the excision site open or closing it directly in a simple manner. More involved eyelid reconstruction is not the simple closure described here.
How is bilateral eyelid excision reported?
For bilateral procedures, CMS pays 150% when modifier 50 is used. Document the eyelid sites and the services performed on each side.
Are postoperative visits separately reported during the global period?
Related postoperative visits within the 10-day global period are included in the procedure. The global period does not include unrelated services.
How does CMS handle multiple procedures in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to a 50% reduction. CMS also restricts assistant-at-surgery payment and does not permit co-surgeon or team-surgery reporting for this code.
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.
