Image Guided Nexplanon Removal

Date: Oct 30, 2018

Question:

We've been seeing cases where a patient, who has a Nexplanon implant, comes to Radiology for image-guided removal. This is almost always done with ultrasound, and we're debating which ultrasound code should be used, if one should be used at all. Would you recommend something like 76882 or 76998 here?
