Under general anesthesia, a provider excises one chalazion from each upper eyelid. What cptâ® and icd-10-cm codes are reported?

Respuesta :

Although chalazion surgery is not regarded as serious surgery, anaesthetic is used throughout the procedure. You might have a local anaesthetic that only affects the region around your eyes or a general anaesthetic that puts you to sleep for the surgery, depending on your health requirements, age, and medical history.

Whether a single or several chalazia are removed under these circumstances,  the codeCPT 67808 is utilised for excisions requiring general anaesthesia and/or hospitalisation. Similarly for icd-10-cm codes are as follows-

For chalazion right upper eyelid ICD-10-CM Code H00.11

For chalazion, left upper eyelid, ICD-10-CM code H00.14

Aftercare is involved post surgery, antibiotics are prescribed. Steroid ointment  is given in some cases
