Hi everyone,

I am new to eye care coding, so I'd really appreciate any help! This provider did a trabeculectomy on a glaucoma patient and four days later the patient had a bleb leak which was sutured. Is the correct code 66250 with a 78 modifier?

Thanks in advance! :)

Yes, if he took the patient back to the OR. If he did this bleb leak repair in the exam room, it is part of the initial surgery and cannot be billed separately.
