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 New Orleans area, Medicare claims go to Novitas Solutions, Inc., whose rule is L35004.
What it pays
Medicare's average payment to the surgeon in the New Orleans area is $759 for an upper blepharoplasty and $757 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.
