Wiki Intacs Implant Removal

[spuchalla]

Good morning! Does anyone know what the CPT code for removal of the Intacs implant would be? I can't find anything specific on it so I'm wondering if it would be removal of foreign body (65220-65260 depending on the operative report). Thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Stacey,

Good morning! Removal of Intacs is best described by CPT 65920 "Removal of implanted material, anterior segment of eye."
