Wiki Revision of reconstructed breast 19380 ???

[frankmmedbiller]

Patient is having fat transfer from one breast to another and scar revision from previous mastectomy. Is 19380 the appropiate code for this? This is the information I was given to do a pre authorization with. Thank you for any help

According to the AAPS, it shows this would be the correct code for the revision of a previously reconstructed breast. It includes tissue excision and rearrangement to acheive assymetry. So I would think the transfer of fat would fall under this description.
