The patient comes in for cataract extraction. In the gross finding the physician mentions nuclear sclerosis and dilated pupul. Ephinephrine intracorneal is used for dilation. The physician did phacoemulsification and aspiration of cataract and insertion of intraocular lens prosthesis. What are the ICD and CPT codes for these procedures?
ICD DX CODES
Nuclear Sclerosis (senile cataract) 366.16
Mydriasis Not Due to Mydriatics(dilated pupil) 379.43
ICD PROCEDURE CODES
Phacoemulsification And Aspiration of Cataract 13.41
Insertion Intraocular Lens Prosth W Cataract Ext 13.71
CPT CODES
Cataract Extraction W/IOL, Manual simple 66984
HCPCS CODES
Lens, Intraocular C1780
Note: If there is no mention of either Intracapsular or extracapsular extraction then the default is to take it as extracapsular. CPT has two codes for cataract extraction as follows:
62282 Cataract extraction complex
66984 Cataract extraction simple
If the cataract extraction involves suture support then it can be considered as complex.
