About 67914: Suture repair of eyelid ectropion
Corrects an outward-turning eyelid with a suture-based operation, typically when the surgeon does not perform tissue excision or extensive reconstruction.
This operation corrects ectropion, in which an eyelid—often the lower lid—turns outward and may cause tearing, irritation, or exposure of the eye surface. An ophthalmologist or oculoplastic surgeon uses sutures to reposition the lid. The code represents a suture-based repair rather than a repair involving tarsal wedge excision or extensive reconstruction.
Report the service when the operative note supports suture repair of ectropion and identifies the treated eyelid and technique. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, Medicare pays the highest-valued procedure in full and reduces the others to 50%. For bilateral surgery, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
