Newby to Oculoplastic/Ophthalmology needing guidance please. I have a surgeon that did Levator Resection with Frontalis Fixation. They were asking for 67903, however it was not an internal approach. So I am looking at 67901 for the Frontalis Fixation and 67904 for the Levator Resection. I have never had this combination before. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!
I do the ASC billing for our facility and I have 2 surgeons who just performed a "combo case" and I'd like to make sure my thinking on coding of the case is correct. Procedure in question is 66991 - one physician performed the cataract sx piece and the 2nd physician performed the stent portion.
