What 67911 covers
This procedure corrects an eyelid that sits too high or is pulled away from the eye, causing visible sclera, irritation, or exposure of the ocular surface. It is commonly performed by an ophthalmologist with oculoplastic expertise for retraction associated with thyroid eye disease, scarring, or prior eyelid surgery. The operative approach adjusts the eyelid position without insertion of an implant; a repair that includes an implant belongs to the related code 67912.
Report 67911 when the documented problem is eyelid retraction and the surgeon performs a corrective repair without an implant. The operative note should identify the affected eyelid, the retracted position and clinical effect, and the repair performed. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. For bilateral reporting with modifier 50, payment is at 150%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

67911 billing questions
When should 67911 be chosen over 67912?
Use 67911 for correction of eyelid retraction without an implant. When the repair includes insertion of an implant, report 67912 instead.
How is eyelid retraction different from eyelid ptosis?
Retraction means the eyelid is abnormally elevated or pulled away from the eye. Ptosis is a drooping eyelid; codes such as 67901–67908 address ptosis repair rather than retraction correction.
What documentation supports 67911?
Document the retracted eyelid and side, the effect on appearance or ocular-surface protection, and the corrective work performed. The note should also make clear whether an implant was inserted.
Does 67911 have a global period?
Yes. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, which includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the 90 days after surgery.
How is bilateral 67911 reported?
For bilateral procedures, report modifier 50; Medicare pays the bilateral service at 150%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be paid for 67911?
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.
