I would like some Coding help in determining What CPT's and what current ICD-10 Codes can be billed for cataract surgery with sulcus lens placement, pars plana vitrectomy, with lens implant retrieval of implant that dropped into the vitreous space during surgery, right eye. This is complicated in that the cataract surgery was performed by the Primary Ophthalmologist on a juvenile patient for PSC cataract OD and then this patient experienced a posterior capsule rupture during I & A necessitating pars plana vitrectomy with lens implant retrieval by another Ophthalmologist, who is the Retinal Surgeon in the same Ophthalmology Practice. Also, can this be coded as a Two-Surgery Case with a -62 modifier on each surgery? Also, the CPT Codes the Retinal Surgery said to use for his portion of the surgery were 67036, 67121, and 66986.

Which modifiers would I use for each surgery for each provider?
