I was looking at this website from AAO specifically.
They say in the text of the post that you cannot charge a cosmetic medically necessary bleph with a ptosis to patient responsibility, but that contradicts the beginning of the article quoting the 2017 CMS manual, so I want the AAO’s backup with an actual manual or resource from CMS confirming what their website says – makes no sense. Did the 2017 CMS manual decision change?
