Since in ASC planned 66984...had complication w/ viteous loss attempted IOL in anterior chamber, too long and then removed and pt left aphakic. Then finished up the procedure. This is a MCR pt and since IOL not used.
Doctor feels not correct to use 6685X code range. Can bill 66984-74?

Thanks
Jamie
 
From what you explained I would code the intended surgery with the modifier discontinued after anes. 66984-74. The patient had a complication.
Additional diagnosis...v64.1 and the complication diagnosis code.

thats my two cents
