Browpexy Internal Approach
Does anyone know which CPT could be used for a brow ptosis repair with an internal approach performed at the same time as a bleph? 67903 does not work because he doesn't do a resection or advancement.
This is the part of the note regarding the eyebrow:
[B]Browpexy maneuver was performed by placing a 4-0 Mersilene suture between the periosteum of the lateral lower forehead and the undersurface of the brow.[/B]
I have tried to research this before and it seems there is a lot of information out there that this is being done but I can't find a CPT code for it. My surgeon has been doing these quite a bit and I have not coded it because it is just a small part and a little extra done at the same time as CPT 15823. I just thought I would throw this out there to see if any other surgeons are doing this procedure and if someone knows how to bill for it. Please help.....I don't want to not give him credit if it is something I can bill for but I am at a loss at what code to use.
Thanks!!!!
