What 67915 covers

This procedure treats ectropion, in which the eyelid turns outward and may leave the eye exposed or cause tearing. An ophthalmologist, often an oculoplastic surgeon, applies thermocautery to produce tissue contraction that helps bring the lid back toward the eye. It is distinct from ectropion repairs performed with sutures, tissue excision, or more extensive reconstruction; the operative method supports the code selection.

Report the service when the surgeon performs thermocautery for ectropion, and document the affected eyelid, diagnosis, and technique. The code has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For bilateral procedures, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
