Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

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.
