Complete Removal of a Tear Gland

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 68500

Removes the whole tear-producing gland that sits under the bone at the outer top corner of the eye socket. It is done for disease of the gland itself, such as long-standing inflammation or infection, rather than for a growth in the gland; taking out a growth, harmless or cancerous, is a different operation. The gland is taken out entirely rather than in part.
