What 67924 covers
This procedure corrects entropion, in which an eyelid turns inward and lashes or skin may rub the eye. An ophthalmologist, often an oculoplastic surgeon, may use a more extensive repair such as removing a portion of the tarsal plate and placing everting sutures to reposition the lid. It is commonly performed in an outpatient surgical setting for symptomatic eyelid malposition.
Report this code when the operative work supports an extensive entropion repair rather than a simpler suture, thermal, or wedge-excision approach. The operative note should identify the affected eyelid, the entropion being corrected, and the techniques and tissue work performed. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

67924 billing questions
How is this code distinguished from 67923?
Use 67924 when the documented entropion repair is extensive. Code 67923 describes repair using tarsal wedge excision; the operative technique and scope should support the selected level.
When would 67921 be a better choice?
Code 67921 represents entropion repair by suture. Choose 67924 when the surgeon performs a more extensive repair, rather than relying on a suture technique alone.
Can both eyelids be reported?
For bilateral surgery, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%. The operative record should establish that both sides were treated.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be billed?
Medicare does not pay an assistant-at-surgery claim for this service. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
