Removal Of A Tear Gland Growth

Massachusetts rates for HCPCS 68540

Removes a growth from the tear gland, which sits under the bone at the outer part of the upper eyelid. An incision in the brow or upper lid region gives access to the gland, and the mass is taken out and sent for laboratory testing. It is done for a lump that is enlarging, pressing on the eye, or pushing the eyeball forward or out of position.
