Ophthalmology procedure

About 67801: Multiple chalazion excision, same eyelid

Report this service when a clinician excises multiple chalazia from one eyelid during the same session, rather than a single lesion or lesions on different lids.

An ophthalmologist or other qualified eye-care clinician uses this service to remove multiple chalazia from the same eyelid, commonly by opening and curetting the affected glands. It is typically performed in an office setting under local anesthesia when several persistent or symptomatic chalazia on one lid need treatment. The code is specific to chalazia; it is not the choice for a suspicious eyelid growth requiring biopsy or removal as a non-chalazion lesion.

Documentation should support that more than one chalazion was treated and that the lesions were on the same eyelid. Use the single-lesion code for one chalazion and the different-lids code when multiple lesions are treated on different eyelids. This minor procedure has a 10-day global period, so related postoperative visits during that period are included. When other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay for an assistant at surgery, co-surgeons, or team surgery for this service.

67801 billing questions

How does this differ from 67800?

67800 is for one chalazion. Use 67801 when multiple chalazia are treated on the same eyelid.

When should 67805 be reported instead?

67805 applies when multiple chalazia are treated on different eyelids. 67801 is for multiple lesions on one eyelid.

Can modifier 50 be used if both eyes are treated?

No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply, and modifier 50 is inappropriate. Select the code that reflects the number of lesions and eyelids treated.

Are postoperative visits separately reported?

Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in the procedure payment.

What documentation supports this code?

Record the treated chalazia and the eyelid on which they were located. The record should establish that multiple lesions, rather than a single lesion, were treated on that same lid.

What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. An assistant at surgery, co-surgeon, or team surgeon is not paid for this service.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
