According to the LCD, how is an extracapsular cataract surgery with insertion of an intraocular lens for a drug induced cataract in the left eye reported?
A. 66984, H26.32, T38.0X5A |
B. 66983, H26.32 |
C. 66983, H26.222 |
D. 66984, H26.222, H40.1423 The CPT® and ICD-10-CM guidelines are covered codes according to the LCD. In the Utilization Guidelines, you are directed to report the underlying condition first when H26.222 is reported and to report the causative agent secondarily when reporting H26.32. I don't see how I could have known to Choose A since it does not mention at all what kind of drug caused the cataract. My answer (wrong) was C. Should I have guessed A since it is the only one that has any kind of chemical that could induce the cataract? |
