Wiki Conjunctiva biopsy & cryotherapy of eyelashes

[suec]

Hello, Could use an opinion with these two procedures. Procedure performed is a biopsy of conjunctiva for conjunctival scarring and cryotherapy of eyelashes for trichiasis. Coded 68100-LT for the conjunctival biopsy of left lower lid and 68725-50 for the cryotherapy of lashes. ( left upper & lower and right lower lids) Is it correct to code both of these together since we have a diagnosis for both procedures? Or is 68100 not coded. Any assistance is welcome.

Yes, you can code for both 68100 and 67825 as there are no CCI edits stating otherwise. Hope this helps.

Thank you, not sure why the payor is saying 68100 shouldn't be coded.
