Ophthalmic surgery

About 67700: Eyelid abscess incision and drainage

An ophthalmologist drains an abscess of the eyelid through an incision, reporting this code for the eyelid-specific procedure rather than chalazion treatment.

This procedure opens an eyelid abscess to drain its contents. An ophthalmologist typically performs it in an office or outpatient setting when examination identifies a localized eyelid infection requiring incision and drainage. It is distinct from treatment of a chalazion, which is a different type of eyelid lesion and is coded separately.

The record should identify the affected eyelid, document the abscess and the incision-and-drainage service, and distinguish the condition from a chalazion. The procedure has a 10-day global period, so related postoperative visits during that period are included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. For bilateral treatment reported with modifier 50, CMS pays at 150%. CMS does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
