Hello. This is my first time posting here... hope I get it right 
. We have a billing company that has coded a procedure with 66999, which got denied. Excerpt from the Operative note "With omni device and under gonioprism visualization canaloplasty done 270 degrees, goniotomy done 270 degress". The patient was schedule for Canaloplasty and goniotomy. Why wouldn't this get coded as 65820? The billing company gave this explaination: "In order to report 65820 the Schlemm's canal needs to be dilated 360 degrees". Where would I see these details?
