Foreign Body Removal for Otitis Externa???

Provider wants to code CPT 69200 "Foreign Body Removal from external auditory canal" for cleaning a patient's ear due to otitis externa/swimmer's ear
Provider says the infection shouldn't be there so it is a foreign body. He used scope to visualize, clean ear and placed an ear wick.
Is 69200 correct??? or should an E/M be coded? Or something else?
