What 67880 covers
An ophthalmologist, commonly an oculoplastic surgeon, revises eyelid structures such as the lid margin, canthus, or tarsal plate to correct a structural deformity. Examples include scar-related eyelid malposition or a defect after trauma or prior surgery when the repair does not use a skin graft. This is reconstructive work, rather than removal of a localized lesion or correction of misdirected eyelashes.
The operative report should identify the affected side and structures, the deformity being corrected, the reconstructive work performed, and whether a skin graft was used. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one 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 payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

67880 billing questions
How do I distinguish 67880 from 67882?
The distinction is whether the eyelid revision uses a skin graft. Report 67880 for the reconstructive revision without a graft; 67882 is the sibling code for revision with a skin graft.
Is this the right code for removing an eyelid lesion?
Use a lesion-removal code when the service is excision of a localized eyelid lesion. This code describes reconstructive revision involving the eyelid margin, canthus, or tarsus, not lesion removal alone.
What should the operative note support?
Document the eyelid side, involved structures, the deformity or defect, the reconstructive steps, and whether a skin graft was used. These details distinguish this service from a grafted revision or a more specific malposition repair.
How is bilateral surgery reported?
For a bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%. The record should support treatment of both sides.
Is related postoperative care separately included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
CMS specifies a statutory restriction on assistant-at-surgery payment and does not permit co-surgeons or team surgery 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.
