Hello ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I work at an ophthalmology ASC and a couple of our surgeons are insisting I use cpt 65780 (ocular surface reconstruction; amniotic membrane transplantation, multiple layers) when they perform a pterygium excision w/ placement of amniotic membrane graft. I believe this should be coded as 65426 (Excision or transposition of pterygium; with graft.)
I cannot find an LCD or NCD on the CMS website to help determine when 65780 is appropriate to bill so I'm hoping someone here can help.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice!!
