Oculoplastic surgery
About 67882: Eyelid revision by non-suture technique
Reports structural eyelid revision involving the lid margin, tarsus, conjunctiva, canthus, or full thickness, performed by a method other than suturing.
An ophthalmologist, often an oculoplastic surgeon, reports this service when surgically revising eyelid structure that involves the lid margin, tarsus, conjunctiva, canthus, or the full thickness of the lid using a method other than suturing. The operative report should identify the affected structures, the extent of revision, and the non-suture technique used. This is distinct from temporary eyelid closure and from a revision performed by sutures.
Select the code based on the documented anatomy and operative method, not simply the diagnosis or the fact that the eyelid was revised. The CMS global period is 90 days: the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care 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 reporting with modifier 50, CMS pays at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

67882 billing questions
How does this differ from 67880?
Both describe eyelid revision involving substantial eyelid structures. Choose 67882 when the revision is performed by a method other than suturing; 67880 describes revision by sutures.
Can this code describe temporary eyelid closure?
No. Temporary closure, such as tarsorrhaphy, is distinct from structural revision and is represented by codes such as 67875.
What should the operative report document?
Document the eyelid structures revised, the extent of the work, and the method used to revise them. The record should make clear that the technique was other than suturing.
How is bilateral work reported?
CMS identifies this as a bilateral procedure; modifier 50 is paid at 150%. The documentation should establish that the qualifying revision was performed on both sides.
Are assistant surgeons or co-surgeons payable?
CMS does not pay assistant-at-surgery services 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.
