Eye Surface Growth Removal With Tissue Graft

Iowa rates for HCPCS 65426

This procedure surgically removes a growth of tissue that has spread across part of the clear surface of the eye, then covers the area with a tissue graft to help it heal and reduce the chance of the growth returning. It's a more involved version of removal than one done without a graft. It's often used for growths that have recurred or are more extensive.
