Every quarter coders wait with bated breath to see the effect the latest round of Correct Coding Initiative (CCI) will have on their coding. CCI 19.0 is a doozy. This latest batch of CCI edits bundles a number of integumentary repair CPT® codes into virtually all of the "Surgical Procedures on the Eye and Ocular Adnexa" codes. CCI has determined that those integumentary repair codes are an intrinsic part of nearly all of the eye surgery codes, and as such should not be coded or billed separately.
