Good Morning,
I'm looking for some help on coding the following procedure:
Placement of right sided tissue expander in a patient who is 15 yo. due to right breast hypoplasia. Patient is not having breast reconstruction at this time and is not having a mastectomy. Tissue expander will be placed now and then the patient will return at age 18 for permanent implant. Any help is appreciated.
I have looked at CPT 19342, 19324, and 11970 and none of those seem appropriate.
Thank you,
Patti Sandlin, CPC
