Which code is used for laser severing of adhesions in the anterior segment of the anterior chamber?

The code used for laser severing of adhesions in the anterior segment of the anterior chamber is 65860. This code specifically refers to procedures involving the use of a laser to perform a therapeutic intervention in the eye, particularly for the treatment of conditions that may involve the anterior chamber area, such as synechiae (adhesions).

In this context, the anterior segment includes the structures in the front part of the eye, and the use of laser technology allows for precise cutting and separation of adhesions that may be causing issues like increased intraocular pressure or visual disturbances.

The other codes are associated with different procedures or anatomical areas and would not apply to the specific action of laser severing adhesions in the anterior chamber. For instance, one code might pertain to treatments for retinal conditions, while another could be related to the optic nerve or other parts of the eye. Thus, the specificity of code 65860 makes it the appropriate choice for the described procedure.
