For a single chalazion, code as CPT 67800; if more than one is removed on the same eyelid, use CPT 67801; if there are multiple located on different eyelids, use 67805.
A chalazion is a less painful chronic infection on the inside edge of the eyelid (conjunctival side) affecting the Zeis or meibomian (oil-secreting) glands. Styes, or hordeola, are painful infected lesions on the edge of the eyelid (eyelash follicles) that come on quickly and eventually break open and drain.
TreatmentApply warm compresses to the eyelid for 10 to 15 minutes, 4 to 6 times a day for several days. ... Gently massage the external eyelids several minutes each day to help promote drainage.Once the chalazion drains on its own, keep the area clean, and keep hands away from the eyes.

Meibomian gland lipogranuloma. A chalazion is a small bump in the eyelid caused by a blockage of a tiny oil gland.
A chalazion is a small firm bulge in the eyelid caused by a blocked opening or infection of the oil producing glands located in the upper or lower eyelids. Chalazia are frequently associated with a condition called blepharitis. Chalazia may be uncomfortable, look abnormal, or interfere with vision.
Chalazion Causes The meibomian glands in your upper and lower eyelids make oil that mixes with your tears to moisten and protect your eyes. If the oil gets too thick or if the glands are blocked because of inflammation, you may get a chalazion. Rarely, an infection can cause a chalazion.
Long-term oral tetracycline, doxycycline, or metronidazole may be useful in the setting of chronic, recurrent chalazia. Topical steroids can be helpful in minimizing inflammation and in reducing edema, thereby facilitating any drainage that may take place.
“If a chalazion doesn't drain on its own after treatment with compresses, sometimes we do an incision, which helps drain the bump and let that thickened oil come out,” says Mehta. A chalazion that doesn't go away within a few weeks should be evaluated by a doctor, says Mehta.

A chalazion (/kəˈleɪziən/; plural chalazia /kəˈleɪziə/), also known as a meibomian gland lipogranuloma , is a cyst in the eyelid that is caused by inflammation of a blocked meibomian gland, usually on the upper eyelid. Chalazia differ from styes (hordeola) in that they are subacute and usually painless nodules. They may become acutely inflamed, but unlike a stye, chalazia usually sit inside the lid rather than on the lid margin.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H00.16 and a single ICD9 code, 373.2 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
