What 67921 covers

This procedure corrects entropion, in which the eyelid margin turns inward and lashes or skin may rub against the eye. The surgeon uses sutures to rotate the lid margin outward. It is commonly performed by an ophthalmologist or oculoplastic surgeon in an office procedure room or operating facility, often for involutional lower-lid entropion.

Select this code when the documented repair uses sutures, rather than thermal treatment, tarsal wedge excision, or a more extensive repair. The operative note should identify the affected eyelid, the entropion being corrected, and the suture-based technique. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For bilateral repair, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. CMS does not pay an assistant at surgery, and 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.

67921 billing questions

How does this differ from 67922?

Use 67921 for suture-based correction of entropion. Code 67922 describes correction using thermocauterization.

When would 67923 or 67924 be selected instead?

Those codes represent different operative approaches: tarsal wedge excision for 67923 and an extensive repair for 67924. The operative note should support the technique and extent reported.

Can this be reported for both eyelids?

Yes. CMS identifies the procedure as bilateral, with modifier 50 paid at 150%.

Are related postoperative visits separately reported?

The 90-day global period includes related postoperative care, as well as the preoperative visit on the day before surgery.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be billed for this repair?

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

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.
