Happy Friday!
Having trouble coding a procedure.... procedure performed was excision of a left infraorbital cyst 2 cm diameter.

"We then infiltrated the left lower eyelid area and made a small incision overlying the lesion in the left lower eyelid. Dissection was carried down to and through some of the subcutaneous tissue deep to the muscle and then down into the orbital septal level. A cystic lesion was identified at the medial portion of the infraorbital rim. It had yellowish material within it and it was carefully dissected free, removed in its entirety."

I was leaning towards 67800 but phsician said that is for right on the eyelid and this was more extensive and deep. He wants to bill 67999 but since that is unlisted procedure I thought I would throw it out to you guys for help.

Thank you very much for any help or pointers.
