Code 65205 is appropriate for reporting removal of a superficial conjunctival foreign body from the eye. No incision or specific instrumentation is required.
In addition, the incision removes any controversy about whether the foreign body removal is compensable with the code 10120 (incision and removal of foreign body, simple).
What procedure code do you use? CPT code 65222 is removal of foreign body, external eye; corneal, with slit lamp. 65222 is a bundled code. That means if you have two or more foreign bodies in the same tissue in the same eye, on the same day, you can only bill once for the multiple foreign bodies.

ICD-10-CM Code for Encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery on specified body systems Z48. 81.
Definition. the condition of a patient in the period following a surgical operation. [
If the foreign body in the left eye is nonmagnetic, the correct code is H44.7 Retained (old) IOFB, nonmagnetic, which includes the instruction “Use additional code to identify nonmagnetic foreign body (Z18.0 – Z18.10, Z18.12, Z18.2 – Z18.2-Z19.9).” A comparable diagnosis for an old retained foreign body in the left eye that is nonmagnetic is H44.752.
For IOFBs, the most commonly used codes include S05.51 (Penetrating wound with foreign body of right eyeball) and S05.52 (Penetrating wound with foreign body of left eyeball). However, when this family of codes is used, the 7th character is required, and it must be in the 7th position. For example, an IOFB in the right eye would be S05.51xA, where the x is used as a placeholder to ensure that the A is in the 7th position.
Whereas the diagnosis code selection is determined by whether or not the foreign body is magnetic, the surgical code selection is determined by the method of extraction, as described earlier. The CPT code selection is guided by how the procedure was performed, and it does not matter if the foreign body was magnetic. If a magnet was used, then it is a magnetic extraction; otherwise it is a nonmagnetic extraction—even if the foreign body itself is magnetic.
For example: H44.652 Retained (old) magnetic foreign body in vitreous body, left eye.
A comparable diagnosis for an old retained foreign body in the left eye that is nonmagnetic is H 44.752. The treatment is considered active whether or not the foreign body is magnetic and whether or not it is an old foreign body.
The CPT code selection is guided by how the procedure was performed, and it does not matter if the foreign body was magnetic. If a magnet was used, then it is a magnetic extraction; otherwise it is a nonmagnetic extraction—even if the foreign body itself is magnetic.
