What 67922 covers

Entropion turns the eyelid margin inward, bringing the lashes into contact with the ocular surface. For this procedure, an ophthalmologist or oculoplastic surgeon uses controlled heat to create tissue contraction that helps evert the lid. It is a technique-specific option for correcting eyelid malposition; it is distinct from suture repair, tarsal wedge excision, or more extensive reconstruction. The record should identify the affected lid, the entropion and its clinical effect, and the thermocautery technique performed.

Report this code when the documented repair uses thermocautery, not simply because the patient has entropion. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. For bilateral treatment, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. In a same-session multiple-procedure claim, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. CMS lists a statutory restriction on assistant-at-surgery payment and does not permit co-surgeons or team surgery for this code.
