Wiki Repair blowout fx w/canthoplasty

[sdavey]

We have a physician that always states he is performaing a canthoplasty 67950 along with 21390 (periorbital repair of blowout fx transconjuctival approch). Seems to me the canthoplasty would be included in the fx repair. Any thoughts ??

I would think so to, however the CCI edits do not bundle the two, The lay description for the orbital blow out doesnt include the reconstruction of the canthus...so I think its really going to be based on his documentation of the canthoplasty.
