What 67912 covers

67912 covers operative placement of a weight in the upper eyelid to help the lid close when spontaneous closure is incomplete. Oculoplastic ophthalmologists commonly use a gold or platinum load for lagophthalmos related to facial nerve weakness or paralysis, which can leave the cornea exposed. The added weight helps the upper lid descend; this is different from surgery to lift a drooping eyelid. The procedure is performed in a surgical setting.

Choose this code when the operative service includes upper eyelid load implantation to address lagophthalmos. The record should support the incomplete closure, its clinical cause or consequences, the treated side, and the implant procedure. This major surgery has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. For bilateral reporting with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%. 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.

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.
