What 67917 covers

Entropion turns the eyelid margin inward, allowing lashes to rub the ocular surface and cause irritation, tearing, or corneal injury. This code describes an extensive surgical correction, such as a repair involving substantial lid repositioning or tissue work, rather than a simple suture repair. Ophthalmologists and oculoplastic surgeons commonly perform the procedure, often for involutional lower-lid entropion, in an operating room or an appropriately equipped outpatient surgical setting.

Select the code based on the operative technique and extent documented, not symptoms alone; the note should identify the affected eyelid, the entropion, and the corrective work performed. Medicare assigns 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 other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. For bilateral surgery, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code; 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.

67917 billing questions

How is this distinguished from 67916?

67917 is for extensive entropion correction. Use 67916 when the documented repair is a suture technique rather than an extensive repair.

What documentation supports reporting 67917?

Document the affected eyelid, the inward turning, and the operative technique and extent of correction. The record should support an extensive repair rather than a simple suture correction.

Can modifier 50 be used when both eyelids are treated?

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

Does the code include routine postoperative visits?

The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

What happens if another procedure is performed in the same session?

Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, 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.
