I am wondering if I can use CPT 67938 for the following FB removal:

"Right eyelid everted & tiny black FB removed." (aka - provider was able to obtain the FB w/o having to make an incision.)

Does an incision HAVE to be done in order to bill 67938 or is an incision just an inclusion in the procedure? Should I be billing an E/M service for this instead or FB removal?

Thanks for you help!
