Encounter for adjustment or removal of right breast implant

This code indicates a patient encounter specifically for the manipulation, repositioning, or complete extraction of an implant located in the right breast. This includes procedures performed due to complications, patient preference, or routine maintenance.

Apply this code when a patient presents for a procedure involving an existing right breast implant, such as capsular contracture release, implant exchange, or explantation. It is appropriate for both elective and medically necessary adjustments or removals.

• Always code the underlying reason for the adjustment or removal (e.g., capsular contracture, implant rupture) as a secondary diagnosis.
• Do not use this code for initial breast implant insertion.
• Ensure laterality is correctly identified (right breast).
