External Breast Prostheses Disclaimer Definition Refer to the member s specific benefit plan and Schedule of Benefits to determine coverage. This may not be a benefit on all plans or the plan may have broader or more limited benefits than those listed in these criteria. Some procedures require prior authorization. Please check with PHP Prior Authorization Department or the PHP website. Logon to Pres Online to submit a request: Reconstructive Surgery: Reconstructive surgery is performed on abnormal structures of the body caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors or disease. It is generally performed to improve function but may also be done to approximate a normal or symmetric appearance. Reconstructive surgery means the following: 1. Surgery to correct a physical functional disorder resulting from a disease or congenital anomaly; following an injury or incidental to any surgery.
2 Coverage Determination Page 2 of Reconstructive surgery and associated procedures following a mastectomy that resulted from malignancy, and internal prosthesis incidental to the surgery. 3. However, surgery to correct congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infections, tumors or disease may be covered because the surgery is considered reconstructive in nature. Cosmetic Surgery Cosmetic surgery is performed to reshape normal structures of the body to improve the patient's appearance and self-esteem is not a covered benefit. Cosmetic surgery performed purely for the purpose of enhancing one's appearance is not eligible for coverage. Additional cosmetic surgeries, done at the same time as reconstructive procedures, are not a covered benefit. Surgery will be considered cosmetic rather than reconstructive when there is no functional impairment present. However, some congenital, acquired, traumatic or developmental anomalies may not result in functional impairment; and can be considered case-by-case bases for reconstructive surgery. Treatment of complications arising from cosmetic surgery will be considered reasonable and necessary as long as infection, hemorrhage or other serious documented medical complication occurs after beneficiary has been officially discharged from the facility. 1. Breast Reconstruction Following Mastectomy: Description: Breast reconstruction after mastectomy is offered to individuals of all ages, and is an integral component of therapy for patients with cancer or who have elected to have a medically necessary prophylactic mastectomy. Breast reconstruction is a series of surgeries done following a mastectomy, either for cancer, as a prophylactic mastectomy for cancer risk, for benign disease, or accident/trauma. Breast reconstruction following mastectomy may be immediate (at the same time as the mastectomy) or delayed. The selection of various procedure reconstruction may be based on an assessment of cancer treatment, patient body habitus, smoking history, comorbidities and patient concerns. Coverage Determination:
3 Page 3 of 26 Reconstruction of the affected and the contralateral unaffected following a medically necessary mastectomy is considered a non-cosmetic procedure. Accordingly, program payment may be made for reconstruction surgery following removal of a for any medical reason. Program payment may not be made for reconstruction for cosmetic reasons Breast reconstruction following a medically necessary mastectomy is mandated coverage by the Women s Health and Cancer Rights Act of The following is an excerpt from the Act. All stages of reconstruction of the on which the mastectomy has been performed; Surgery and reconstruction of the other to produce a symmetrical appearance; and Prostheses and physical complications of all stages of mastectomy, including lymphedema. These are dependent on the manner determined in consultation with the attending physician and the patient. Coding The coding listed in this section of the medical policy is for reference only. The following CPT codes 19316, 19324, 19325, 19328, 19330, 19340, 19342, 19350, 19355, 19357, 19361, 19364, 19366, 19367, 19368, 19369, 19380, See ICD-10 listing titled ICD-10 for Reconstructive Breast Surgery: Removal of Implants. 2. Breast Implant Removal and/or Replacement and Capsulectomy: Description: Breast implant surgery can be either cosmetic or reconstructive. The two primary types of implants are salinefilled and silicone gel-filled. Breast implants may lead to complications that may necessitate removal. Common complications of implants are capsular contracture, infection, and rupture. Coverage Determination: All requests must be accompanied with the following documentation: Original indication for implant (cosmetic augmentation or reconstruction after a medically necessary mastectomy);
4 and Current symptoms; and Page 4 of 26 Imaging study demonstrating rupture (if applicable); and Photos may be required in certain circumstances (see indications below) Removal of Breast Implants Placed for Cosmetic Augmentation Breast implant removal and capsulectomy are covered for implants originally placed for cosmetic augmentation only when one of the following indications occur: Recurrent or severe infection due to implants; or Baker Class IV contracture as defined on page 5/6. or Inability to perform mammography due to severe contracture or any interference with cancer screening or evaluation; or Rupture of silicone gel-filled implants, confirmed by diagnostic studies such as mammography, CT scan, US or MRI; or If cancer is diagnosed in a patient with implants or If presence of textured implants is contributing to a cancerous or pre-cancerous conditions, such as large cell lymphoma (i.e. Castleman s Disease). No other reasons will be considered for removal of implants originally placed for cosmetic augmentation. When one of the above criteria is met, removal of the implant in the non-affected will be covered if both implants are removed at the same time. When cosmetic augmentation has been performed previously and any complications arise, excluding malignancy, coverage will not include replacement of the affected implant,
5 Page 5 of 26 replacement of the implant in the opposite, or procedures to address symmetry. Removal of Breast Implants Placed for Breast Reconstruction Breast implant removal and replacement is covered for implants placed when reconstruction has occurred for a medically necessary mastectomy, a prophylactic mastectomy for high risk of cancer, or for a congenital anomaly with one of the following indications: Recurrent or severe infection due to implants; or Baker Class III or IV contracture (see page 5/6); or Inability to perform mammography due to severe contracture or any interference with cancer screening or evaluation; or Rupture of silicon gel-filled implants, confirmed by diagnostic studies such as mammography, CT scan, US or MRI; or Rupture of saline implant (extra-capsular) if significant deformity or asymmetry is demonstrated (photographs may be required); or Removal/replacement of implant secondary to staged reconstruction post mastectomy due to cancer. When one of the above criteria is met and a unilateral implant is removed, removal and replacement of an implant in the other will be covered to maintain natural symmetry. Reconstruction or Replacement of an implant requiring removal for any of the above indications that was originally placed for reconstruction of a traumatic or surgically created deficit will be covered as medically necessary. Other exclusion: Removal of non-ruptured implants for autoimmune disease or connective tissue disease is not a covered benefit. Medical Term: Capsular contracture: The scar tissue or capsule normally
6 Page 6 of 26 forming around the implant tightens and deforms the implant. It can happen to one or both of the implanted s. Baker s Classification of Capsular Contracture: A system that assesses clinical firmness of the after implantation. Class I: The is soft with no palpable capsule, looks natural. Class II: The is a little firm with palpable capsule but looks normal. Class III: The is firm, capsule easily palpable and visually abnormal Class IV: The is hard, cold, painful and markedly distorted. Subtotal Capsulectomy: Partial removal of the thickened capsule surrounding the implant as indicated Intra- and extra-capsular rupture of implants: After implantation, a capsule is formed around the implant. If the expelled material remains within the capsule, it is an intra-capsular rupture. If the expelled material escapes the capsule, it is an extra-capsular rupture. Extra-capsular ruptures are generally identifiable on mammography, CT scan, US or MRI Coding The coding listed in this medical policy is for reference only. The following CPT codes 19316, 19324, 19325, 19328, 19330, 19340, 19342, 19350, 19355, 19357, 19361, 19364, 19366, 19367, 19368, 19369, 19370, 19371, 19380, See ICD-10 listing titled ICD-10 for Reconstructive Breast Surgery: Removal of Implants. See also applicable HCPCS code table. 3. Breast Reduction Mammaplasty for Symptomatic Breast Hypertrophy (Macromastia): Description: Reduction mammaplasty is a surgical procedure performed to reduce the volume and weight of the female s. A reduction mammaplasty is considered reconstructive surgery when there is a physiological impairment caused by symptomatic hypertrophy; the intent of reduction surgery is to resolve the symptoms and alleviate the physiological impairment. Cosmetic surgery performed to shape normal structures of the body in order to improve the patient s appearance and self-
7 esteem is not a covered benefit. Coverage Determination: Page 7 of 26 Presbyterian uses MCG Criteria # A-0274 (see Clinical Indication Below). Due to contractual restrictions providers may not access the MCG website but may obtain a copy of the criteria from the Prior Authorization staff. Clinical Indications Reduction mammaplasty may be indicated when ALL of the following are present: A. Breast size interferes with activities of daily living, as indicated by 1 or more of the following: Arm numbness consistent with brachial plexus compression syndrome Cervical pain Chronic pain Headaches Nipple position greater than 21 cm below suprasternal notch Persistent redness and erythema (intertrigo) below s Restriction of physical activity Severe bra strap grooving or ulceration of shoulder Shoulder pain Thoracic kyphosis Upper or lower back pain B. Surgical considerations with failure to relieve symptoms with nonsurgical treatment that includes 1 or more of the following: Four to eight visits of physical therapy or chiropractic care, and 2 to 4 months of home exercise for cervical, shoulder, or upper or lower back pain Medically supervised weight loss program for overweight or obese patient Topical and oral antifungal agents for intertrigo Trial of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to treat pain in neck, shoulder, upper or lower back, or Wound care for skin ulceration C. Preoperative evaluation by surgeon concludes that amount of tissue to be removed (by mass or
8 Page 8 of 26 volume) will provide a reasonable expectation of symptomatic relief D. No evidence of cancer Mammoplasty: The beneficiary's medical record must contain the following information: Height and weight. Clinical evaluation of the signs or symptoms ascribed to the macromastia, therapies prior to reduction mammoplasty and the responses to these therapies. Mammogram report within preceding 18 months. The operative report with documentation of the weight of tissue removed from each, obtained in the operating room. The pathology report of the tissue removed from each. Reduction mammoplasty is performed: To reduce the size of the s and help ameliorate symptoms caused by hypertrophy. To reduce the size of a normal to bring it into symmetry with a reconstructed after cancer surgery. After full evaluation including recent mammogram (over the age 35). With histologic pathology performed on all tissue resected. Medicare medical necessity for reduction mammoplasty is limited to circumstances in which: There are signs or symptoms resulting from the enlarged s (macromastia) that have not responded adequately to non-surgical interventions. To improve or correct asymmetry following cancer surgery on one. Note: either the involved or contralateral may be treated to achieve symmetry. A reasonable and necessary reduction mammoplasty could be indicated in the presence of significantly enlarged s and the presence of at least one of the following signs or symptoms: Back pain from macromastia, unrelieved by:
9 Conservative analgesia. Page 9 of 26 Supportive measures (custom garment, etc.). Physical therapy. Significant arthritic changes in the cervical or upper thoracic spine, optimally managed with persistent symptoms or significant restriction of activity. Intertriginous maceration, discoloration, chronic or recurrent infection of the inframammary skin refractory to dermatologic treatment measures. Shoulder grooving to a depth greater than 1 cm with skin irritation or darkening. Graphic documentation of ptosis with nipple-areolar complex 8 cm below the inframammary crease. Surgeon's Estimate of size/weight/volume exceeds 1000 grams with the need for at least 500 gram reduction per to relieve symptoms. Coding The coding listed in this medical policy is for reference only. The applicable CPT is For ICD-10, code N62 and one of the other codes listed in table named ICD-10 for Reduction Mammoplasty. 4. Gigantomastia of Pregnancy: Description: Gestational Gigantomastia (GG) is a rare disease characterized by diffuse, extreme, and incapacitating enlargement of one or both s during pregnancy. Although benign, it can lead to a great social, emotional, and physical disability. Subtotal mastectomy or reduction mammoplasty for the unusual condition of Gigantomastia of Pregnancy is covered when accompanied by any of the following complications (and delivery is not imminent) medically appropriate: Massive infection; Significant hemorrhage; Tissue necrosis with slough; Ulceration of tissue.
10 Page 10 of 26 Coverage of reduction mammoplasty is limited to those circumstances where the medical record supports the following: The signs or symptoms have been present for at least six months. Medical treatment or physical interventions have not adequately alleviated symptoms. 5. Gynecomastia (Surgical Treatment): Description: Gynecomastia is the benign proliferation of glandular tissue in males. Surgical procedures commonly used to remove the glandular tissue include mastectomy and reduction mammaplasty. Fatty tissue alone does not meet the definition of gynecomastia. This is limited to males. For females, refer to Breast Reduction Mammaplasty for Symptomatic Breast Hypertrophy (Macromastia) Prior Authorization is required. Please check with PHP Prior Authorization Department or the PHP website. Logon to Pres Online to submit a request: Presbyterian now uses MCG Criteria # A Due to contractual restrictions providers may not access the MCG website but may obtain a copy of the criteria from the Prior Authorization staff. Mastectomy with nipple preservation or reduction mammoplasty is considered reconstructive and a covered service for males with Grade III and IV gynecomastia or abnormal development with redundancy. American Society of Plastic Surgeons gynecomastia scale: Grade II: Moderate enlargement exceeding areola boundaries with edges that are indistinct from the chest. Grade III: Moderate enlargement exceeding areola boundaries with edges that are indistinct from the chest with skin redundancy present. Grade IV: Marked enlargement with skin redundancy and feminization of the Clinical Indications for Procedure: Mastectomy for gynecomastia may be indicated for 1 or more of the following
11 Page 11 of 26 A. For prepubertal male: evaluation and treatment of underlying endocrine disorder (eg, adrenocortical tumor, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, testicular failure, Klinefelter syndrome) B. Postpubertal male and ALL of the following: Functional impairment (e.g., chronic skin irritation, pain, related psychological disorder requiring therapy) Gynecomastia did not regress after cessation of medications (e.g., calcium channel blockers, cimetidine, phenothiazines, spironolactone, theophylline) known to cause condition, or medications cannot be discontinued. Mammography or needle biopsy results show no evidence of cancer. No evidence of other medical causes for gynecomastia, as indicated by normal results for ALL of the following: o Hormone evaluation (i.e., testosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, estradiol, prolactin, beta-human chorionic gonadotropin) o Liver enzymes o Serum creatinine o Thyroid function tests C. Pubertal male and ALL of the following: Functional impairment (e.g., chronic skin irritation, pain, related psychological disorder requiring therapy) Gynecomastia present for 2 or more years Alternative include: Alternatives to Procedure: Radiation therapy for prostate cancer patient receiving hormonal treatment Background Gynecomastia is the benign proliferation of glandular tissue in males. The pathophysiological process of gynecomastia involves an imbalance between free estrogen and free androgen actions in the tissue, which can occur through multiple mechanisms. During mid to late puberty, more estrogen may be produced by the testes and peripheral tissues before testosterone secretion reaches adult levels, resulting in pubertal gynecomastia. Other
12 Page 12 of 26 endocrine disorders should be evaluated for and treated. Pubertal gynecomastia often resolves without treatment. In adults, gynecomastia is associated with increasing age. Causes include conditions resulting in increased serum estrogen (obesity, liver disease, hyperthyroidism), decreased testosterone synthesis (pituitary disease, congenital or acquired primary gonadal failure), androgen resistance, renal failure, and as a side effect of numerous drugs (examples: marijuana, cimetidine, anabolic steroids). A thorough history, physical exam and appropriate laboratory evaluation may reveal treatable or explanatory causes, and may include a workup for cancer. Breast biopsy is indicated when malignancy is suspected Coding The coding listed in this medical policy is for reference only. CPT and ICD-10 N62, N64.4 and codes in the N63 series group, see table titled ICD-10 for Gynecomastia (Surgical Treatment) for applicable diagnosis. 6. Tattooing: Tattooing to correct color defects of the skin may be considered reconstructive when performed in connection with a payable post-mastectomy reconstruction. Must be performed by an appropriately licensed professional Prior Authorization is required. Logon to Pres Online to submit a request at Coding The coding listed in this medical policy is for reference only. Applicable CPT for Tattoo are 11920, 11921, For diagnosis see table titled ICD-10 for Tattooing. 7. External Breast Prostheses A prosthesis is covered for a patient who has had a mastectomy, the following are HCPCS that outlines the prosthesis An external prosthesis garment, with mastectomy form (L8015) is covered for use in the postoperative period prior to a permanent prosthesis or as an alternative to a
13 mastectomy bra and prosthesis. Page 13 of 26 A mastectomy bra (L8000) is covered for a patient who has a covered mastectomy form (L8020) or silicone (or equal) prosthesis (L8030) when the pocket of the bra is used to hold the form/prosthesis. An external prosthesis of the same type can be replaced at any time if it is lost or is irreparably damaged (this does not include ordinary wear and tear). An external prosthesis of a different type can be covered at any time if there is a change in the patient's medical condition necessitating a different type of item. The Medicare program will pay for only one prosthesis per side for the useful lifetime of the prosthesis. Two prostheses, one per side, are allowed for those persons who have had bilateral mastectomies. More than one external prosthesis per side will be denied as not reasonable and necessary. Excluded: Breast prostheses, silicone or equal, with integral adhesive (L8031) have not been demonstrated to have a clinical advantage over those without the integral adhesive. Therefore, if L8031 is billed, it will be denied as not reasonable and necessary. The medical necessity for the additional features of a custom fabricated prosthesis (L8035) compared to a prefabricated silicone prosthesis has not been established, and therefore, if an L8035 prosthesis is billed, it will be denied as not reasonable and necessary. Coding The coding listed in this medical policy is for reference only. Covered and non-covered codes are within this list.
