374.86 would be for the foreign body in eyelid. I would say it is part of E/M code. Look at code 65235. 65235 is for the anterior chamber of the eye (in the eye) this is on the underside of the eyelid I agree with Nicole. The Dr didn't make any type of incision to charge the 65235. I agree that you wouldn't use 65235 - totally the wrong code.
We had a patient come in complaining of a foreign body in his eye. The doc inverted his eyelid, and removed a "speck" foreign body from his eyelid with a Q-tip. It was not embedded. Would this be part of the E/M, or is there another code to use? Thank you everyone for your help. 374.86 would be for the foreign body in eyelid.

Fluid-filled??#N#Code 10120 is listed under the "10030-10180 Treatment of Fluid-filled Lesions: Skin and Subcutaneous Tissues" category. So if a patient presents with a foreign body, such as a piece of glass but there is no "fluid-filled" issues can the 10120 still be billed for the removal?#N#Thank you!
Use 10120 for tick and splinter removal if you have to go ‘digging'. If you automatically circle the lowest level E/M for removing a tick or splinter – but nothing else – you may be shortchanging yourself. Yes, the most minor foreign body removals – where you simply pluck the object from the skin – will be coded only as an E/M.
10120 - Incision and removal of foreign body, subcutaneous tissues; simple. Other codes in this section specify drainage, but because 10120 does not explain any drainage, I deduct that no drainage is required for this procedure. For removal of a piece of glass with no fluid-filled issues, 10120 should be fine.
Foreign body removal. Though codes 10120-10121 appear under the heading of Incision and Drainage, drainage is not required for reporting these codes. Don't take the "and" to be a requirement as this is not intended.
