Patient had Foreign Body removed with forceps from both ears. Would I code 69200-50 ?

Thanks
 
without an op note it is hard to assign the correct CPT code, but the one you selected does allow for Modifier 50 to be used. If the scenario is truly a straight forward bilateral FB removal, then you would be correct to either 1.) add modifier 50 or 2.) bill the same CPT code on two claim lines with the same DX, one line with an LT modifier and the second line with an RT modifier.
