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.

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.

How does this code differ from 67921?

Both address entropion, but 67922 identifies repair using thermocautery. Code 67921 is the suture-repair approach.

When should 67923 or 67924 be considered instead?

Use 67923 when the documented repair uses tarsal wedge excision. Code 67924 describes an extensive entropion repair, rather than thermocautery.

How is bilateral treatment reported?

CMS specifies modifier 50 for bilateral reporting, with payment at 150%.

What postoperative care is included?

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

What documentation supports 67922?

Document the affected eyelid, the entropion being treated, and that thermocautery was the repair method. The technique distinguishes this code from other entropion repair options.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

CMS lists a statutory restriction on assistant-at-surgery payment for this code. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
