Hello,

I will copy and paste the note that is written down, but the patient had adenovirus conjunctivitis, and I am trying to find the best code to represent the cleaning of the eye. This is the note:

RTC 1 week to check OU
Patient wanted use to put her current RX in front of her and she saw 20/30 vs. 20/20
extreme amount of protein and mucus discharge in OU
peripheral SEI OU inferior nasal cornea 4 and 6 o'clock
OD pseudo membrane RLL and RUL
Cornea infiltrates across the whole central cornea 3+ SEI OS
Membrane and mucus was removed at this exam
Gave an RX for Prednisione Acetate to use 4 times a day in OU

Is there any procedure code we can bill for the mucus and membrane removal? The closest I could come to was 65435

Thanks!
