Procedure codes for removal of foreign body in cornea
A patient came in with a foreign body in cornea of eye.
A 27-gauge needle was used to remove the foreign body with no complications. A minimal amount of burr drilling was needed to remove the rust ring.
I came up with CPT code 65220 and ICD procedure code 982.1.
Any suggestions?
