Excision of multiple chalazia from different eyelids.
Modifiers may be applicable depending on the circumstances of the procedure (e.g., multiple procedures, anesthesia provided by another physician). Refer to the CPT manual for specific modifier guidelines.
Medical necessity for chalazion excision is established when conservative measures (e.g., warm compresses) fail to resolve the chalazia, or when the chalazia cause significant visual impairment, or cosmetic concerns.
The ophthalmologist or other qualified surgeon is responsible for all aspects of the procedure, including patient assessment, anesthesia administration (if applicable), surgical excision, hemostasis, wound closure, and post-operative care instructions.
In simple words: The doctor removes several small bumps (chalazia) from your eyelids.This is done with a small cut, and the area is cleaned afterward. You may need some medicine to prevent infection.
This procedure involves the surgical removal of multiple chalazia (small, inflamed cysts in the eyelid) located on different eyelids.The procedure typically involves local anesthesia, a small incision to access each chalazion, removal of the cyst contents and surrounding tissue, and closure of the incision (if necessary).Post-operative care may include antibiotic ointment and instructions for proper hygiene.
Example 1: A 45-year-old patient presents with multiple chalazia on both upper and lower eyelids, impacting their vision.Excision of all chalazia is performed under local anesthesia., A 60-year-old patient with recurrent chalazia on the right upper and left lower eyelids undergoes excision of the cysts. The patient has a history of blepharitis., A 28-year-old patient presents with three chalazia on their left upper eyelid and one chalazion on their right lower eyelid, causing cosmetic concern.Surgical excision of the chalazia is performed.
* Pre-operative assessment documenting the location and number of chalazia.* Intraoperative notes detailing the surgical technique, including type of anesthesia used.* Post-operative notes documenting any complications or post-operative care provided.* Pathology report if tissue was sent for analysis.
