Hello,
I need some help with coding a procedure. Report states;
DX; Prolapsed iris, right eye
OP PERFORMED; Surgical repair of prolapsed iris, right eye
A lid speculum was carefully placed on the right side. Then 4% unpreserved lidocaine was used topically for anesthesia. A paracentesis was performed with a diamond knife and viscoelastic was used to tease the iris back into position our of the previous surgical incision. The incision was closed with two interrupted 10-0 nylon sutures and found to be water-tight and intact. The viscoelastic was irrigated out of the eye with balanced salt solution. Miostat was instilled with the conclusion of the case and the pupil became miotic in a symmetrical fashion. The lid speculum was removed. TobraDex ointment was placed on the eye. The eye was patched and shielded. The patient will be seen in followup within 24 hours.
How would this be coded?
Thank you for any help.
