What 67908 covers

This code describes repair of upper eyelid ptosis through a posterior approach. The surgeon removes a portion of conjunctiva and Müller muscle to elevate the lid; tarsus may also be resected. Oculoplastic ophthalmologists typically perform the procedure in an operating room, often for a patient whose upper lid droops enough to obstruct vision or impair visual function. It is distinct from repairs using a frontalis sling or an external levator approach.

Select the code when the operative report supports the posterior conjunctiva-and-Müller-muscle technique, with or without tarsal resection. Document the affected lid, the ptosis and its functional impact, and the tissue and approach used. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. For bilateral reporting, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. When multiple procedures occur in one 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.

67908 billing questions

How does this differ from 67903 or 67904?

This code is for posterior resection of conjunctiva and Müller muscle, with or without tarsus. Codes 67903 and 67904 describe different levator resection or advancement approaches; use the operative technique to distinguish them.

When is this code chosen instead of a frontalis sling code?

Use this code for the posterior conjunctiva-and-Müller-muscle resection technique. Codes 67901 and 67902 describe frontalis muscle techniques, including sling approaches.

Can modifier 50 be reported for both eyelids?

Yes. CMS identifies this as a bilateral procedure; modifier 50 is paid at 150%.

What postoperative care is included?

The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. The operative and follow-up documentation should support the ptosis repair and the technique performed.

Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be paid?

CMS lists a statutory restriction on assistant-at-surgery payment for this code. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

How are other procedures in the same session affected?

Under the standard multiple procedure rule, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the other procedures are paid at 50%.

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.
