Tear Duct Clearing With Tube Placement

Colorado rates for HCPCS 68815

A thin probe is passed through the tear drainage duct, the passage that carries tears from the eye down into the nose, to clear a blockage, and a small tube or stent is left in place afterward to keep the duct open while it heals. It is used to treat blocked or narrowed tear ducts.
