What 67923 covers
This procedure corrects entropion, in which an eyelid turns inward and may cause lashes to rub the eye. The surgeon excises a wedge of tarsal tissue and closes the resulting defect to reposition the lid. Ophthalmologists, including oculoplastic surgeons, typically perform the repair in an operating room or an appropriately equipped outpatient surgical setting. The operative report should identify the affected eyelid and document the tarsal wedge excision and repair performed.
Report this code when the documented technique is tarsal wedge excision, rather than suture repair, thermocautery, or an extensive repair using another approach. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For bilateral procedures, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

67923 billing questions
When should this code be selected instead of 67921?
Use 67923 when the surgeon corrects entropion by excising a tarsal wedge. Code 67921 describes suture-based repair.
How does 67923 differ from 67922?
Both address entropion, but 67923 is for tarsal wedge excision and 67922 is for thermocauterization.
What operative documentation supports 67923?
Document the affected eyelid, the entropion being corrected, and the tarsal wedge excision and repair actually performed.
How is bilateral repair reported?
Report modifier 50 for a bilateral procedure; CMS pays the bilateral service at 150%.
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 postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
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.
