eyelid lesion / “seed pimple”

Posted on October 23, 2018 by CPC Exam Medical Coding Updates

provider documents – for the seed pimple I used a 30 g needle to take the top of the skin off and then tweezer to pull the seed out. done in the clinic.

11440? 67700-52? 67800?

It’s not specified as a chalazion, but do these fit the same type of thing?

Foreign body removal of eyelid

Posted on June 18, 2018 by CPC Exam Medical Coding Updates

I am wondering if I can use CPT 67938 for the following FB removal:

"Right eyelid everted & tiny black FB removed." (aka – provider was able to obtain the FB w/o having to make an incision.)

Does an incision HAVE to be done in order to bill 67938 or is an incision just an inclusion in the procedure? Should I be billing an E/M service for this instead or FB removal?

Thanks for you help! :confused:
