Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct code for correction of trichiasis by incision of the lid margin is 67830. Code 67840 is for excision of a lesion of the eyelid margin, which is not the same procedure as incision for trichiasis. Code 67835 is for removal of a lesion on the inner eyelid, so it is not applicable for this procedure. Code 67850 is for eyelid retraction repair, which is not the same procedure as incision for trichiasis.
