CPT code 68360 represents a conjunctival flap procedure in which a flap of free conjunctival tissue is created to cover a site adjacent to a defect. This ophthalmic reconstructive technique is used to repair or cover conjunctival defects resulting from trauma, tumor excision, or other surgical interventions. The code matters nationally because it captures a specialized surgical service performed by ophthalmologists and oculoplastic surgeons and can affect procedural reporting, revenue recognition, and quality tracking in eye care.

Key payers covered in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find clinical context for when the procedure is used, typical sites of service (operating room or ambulatory surgical center), and how the code fits into ophthalmic reconstructive care. The publication also outlines common modifiers observed with surgical ophthalmology billing and notes where input data is incomplete. Benchmarks, coverage considerations, and any recent policy updates will be summarized to inform billing accuracy and administrative workflows for providers and revenue cycle teams.

This national overview is intended to help clinicians, coders, and administrators understand the clinical purpose of CPT code 68360, typical care settings, and the payer coverage landscape relevant to conjunctival flap procedures.
