About 67808: Full-thickness eyelid margin lesion excision
Reports surgical excision of a non-chalazion eyelid lesion when removal involves the lid margin through its full thickness.
An ophthalmologist or oculoplastic surgeon uses this code for excision of a non-chalazion eyelid lesion that involves the lid margin through its full thickness. The operative service may be performed in an office procedure room or an operating room. Examples of relevant documentation include the lesion’s eyelid location and the tissue depth and margin involvement that support full-thickness excision.
Choose this code based on the documented extent of the excision, not simply the presence of an eyelid growth or the number of lesions. The note should identify the lesion and describe the full-thickness lid-margin removal and any closure or reconstruction performed. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, which includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. 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 for this code; assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

67808 billing questions
How does this differ from code 67810?
67808 is for excision meeting the full-thickness lid-margin criteria. 67810 describes an incisional biopsy, rather than that excisional service.
What documentation supports reporting 67808?
Document the lesion’s eyelid location and that the excision involved the lid margin through its full thickness. Include the extent of tissue removed and any closure or reconstruction performed.
Can modifier 50 be reported for lesions on both eyelids?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code. Do not append modifier 50.
How does the global period affect postoperative visits?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be billed?
Assistant-at-surgery payment is barred by statutory restriction. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this code.
