Correct answer: A

Dacryocystitis is the inflammation of the lacrimal sac, which is part of the tear drainage system located in the inner corner of the eye. The lacrimal sac is connected to the nasolacrimal duct, which drains tears into the nasal cavity. Inflammation in this area can cause pain, redness, and swelling near the inner corner of the eye.

ICD-10-CM, medical dictionaries

CPT code 99385 is used for initial comprehensive preventive medicine evaluation and management of an individual, including a detailed history and examination, and anticipatory guidance. Since additional documentation and treatment for non-inflamed lesions are provided, an additional E/M service code 99203 with modifier -25 (significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management service by the same physician on the same day) is appropriate to indicate both services were rendered.
