What 67901 covers

This operation treats blepharoptosis, or a drooping upper eyelid, by linking the eyelid to the frontalis muscle so brow movement helps elevate it. An ophthalmologist, commonly an oculoplastic surgeon, may use a suture or another nonautologous sling material. The technique is distinct from harvesting the patient’s own fascia for the suspension and from shortening or advancing the eyelid elevator muscle.

Report the code for the frontalis suspension technique, with the operative note identifying the method and material used, the treated eyelid, and the ptosis being corrected. The code has a 90-day global period, which includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. For bilateral surgery, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. When multiple procedures are performed 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.

67901 billing questions

When is 67901 selected instead of 67902?

Use 67901 for a frontalis suspension using suture or other nonautologous material. Code 67902 describes the frontalis technique using the patient’s own fascia.

How does this differ from levator repair?

This code represents a sling connecting the eyelid to the frontalis muscle. Codes 67903 and 67904 describe levator resection or advancement by external and internal approaches, respectively.

What should the operative note identify?

Document the ptosis treated, eyelid laterality, frontalis suspension technique, and material used. The note should make clear that the repair is not an autologous fascia sling or a levator procedure.

How is bilateral surgery reported?

Report bilateral surgery with modifier 50; CMS pays the procedure at 150%.

What postoperative care is included?

The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days. Services unrelated to the operation should be distinguished from care related to the repair.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be paid?

Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code. 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.
