What 67916 covers

An ophthalmic or oculoplastic surgeon uses this procedure to correct ectropion, in which the eyelid turns outward and may expose the ocular surface. The surgeon removes a wedge of tarsal tissue to shorten the lid and improve its position against the eye. It is commonly used for lower-lid laxity, including involutional ectropion, and may be performed in an operating room or an appropriately equipped office procedure setting.

Choose this code when the operative technique includes tarsal wedge excision, rather than a suture-only or thermocautery repair or a more extensive repair. The operative note should identify the affected eyelid, the ectropion being corrected, and the wedge excision and repair performed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For bilateral surgery reported with modifier 50, CMS pays 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. 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.
