I just want to verify that when billing for a removal and re-insertion of an IUD that you do not bill the removal code....Our practictioners literally just pull it out by the strings (typically no complications). This was ACOG's question of the month. Our office was/has been billing the removal code
with the new device. ACOG states a simple removal of an IUD during the same encounter as an IUD insertion is NOT separately billable, only when complications occur.
Thanks!!
