When insurance pays in the Jacksonville area
For lids that block vision. This side of eyelid surgery is kept apart from the cosmetic ranking.
The rule
Medicare and private insurers pay when sagging upper-lid skin or a low lid blocks the top of your vision. A visual field test and photographs show the loss before the operation is approved. In the Jacksonville area, Medicare claims go to First Coast Service Options, Inc., whose rule is L34028.
What it pays
Medicare's average payment to the surgeon in the Jacksonville area is $790 for an upper blepharoplasty and $788 for a ptosis repair (2024). The surgery center or hospital is paid separately. You pay your deductible and coinsurance; any cosmetic part of the same operation is billed to you.
