    Guidelines According to the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, the specialty of plastic surgery includes cosmetic and reconstructive procedures: 1. Cosmetic surgery is performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve the patient's

    appearance and self-esteem. 2. Reconstructive surgery is performed on abnormal structures of the body, caused by congenital defects,

    developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors, involutional defects, or disease. It is generally performed to improve function, but may also be done to approximate a normal appearance.

    Cosmetic Clinical Indications Surgery performed to treat psychiatric or emotional problems is generally not covered;

    Corrective facial surgery is usually not covered when there is no functional impairment present; A mastopexy performed primarily to lift or reshape the breast and unrelated to breast reconstruction following

    surgery for breast cancer; Cosmetic surgery to reshape the breasts to improve appearance is not a Medicare benefit. A reduction

    mammoplasty is the surgical reshaping of the breasts to reduce or lift enlarged or sagging breasts to improve the appearance of the breast. Cosmetic signs and/or symptoms would include ptosis, poorly fitting clothing and

    beneficiary perception of unacceptable appearance. Suction assisted lipectomy to remove localized collections of unwanted fat in order to improve appearance;

    Eye surgery that does not correct a functional impairment; Reimbursement for a non-covered procedure performed at the same operative session as a covered surgical

    procedure will not be allowed; Mastectomy for gynecomastia when the tissue removed is primarily fatty tissue; Nasal surgery performed solely to improve the patient's appearance in the absence of any signs and/or symptoms

    of functional abnormalities; Rhinoplasty is not covered when performed for either of the following indications:

    o Solely for the purpose of changing appearance. o As a primary treatment for an obstructive sleep disorder.

    Excision, excessive skin and subcutaneous tissue (including lipectomy); abdomen (abdominoplasty) when performed to improve the patient's appearance;

    Chemical Peel when done for a cosmetic reason;

    Dermabrasion, segmental, face when performed for a cosmetic reason (i.e., post-acne scarring); and Rhytidectomy when performed for a cosmetic reason Abdominoplasty or panniculectomy are not covered when performed primarily for any of the following indications

    because it is considered not medically necessary (this list may not be all-inclusive):

    o Treatment of neck or back pain o Improving appearance (i.e., cosmesis)

    o Repairing abdominal wall laxity or diastasis recti o Treating psychological symptomatology or psychosocial complaints o When performed in conjunction with abdominal or gynecological procedures (e.g., abdominal hernia repair,

    hysterectomy, obesity surgery) unless criteria for panniculectomy and abdominoplasty are met separately. Reconstructive Clinical Indications Surgical procedures to replace absent breast tissue secondary to prior tumor removal, trauma, infection or to

    correct a gross variation in breast size, that is developmental or post-mastectomy; Breast reconstruction of the affected and the contralateral unaffected breast following a medically necessary

    mastectomy; Breast augmentation or reduction mammoplasty is covered in the presence of an acquired deformity of the breast

    and breast carcinoma; Reduction mammoplasty is limited to circumstances in which there are signs and/or symptoms resulting from the

    enlarged breasts (macromastia) that have not responded adequately to Non-surgical Interventions and/or to

    reduce the size of a normal breast to bring it in symmetry with a breast reconstructed after cancer surgery; A medically reasonable and necessary reduction mammoplasty could be indicated in the presence of significantly

    enlarged breasts and the presence of at least one of the following signs and/or symptoms: o Back and neck or shoulder pain from macromastia and unrelieved by 6 months of:

    Conservative analgesia, Supportive measures (garment, etc.),

    Physical Therapy, or o Significant arthritic changes in the cervical or upper thoracic spine, optimally managed with persistent

    symptoms and/or significant restriction of activity o Intertriginous maceration or infection of the inflammatory skin refractory to dermatologic measures o Permanent shoulder grooving with skin irritation by supporting garment (bra strap)

    Removal or revision of breast implant is considered medically necessary when it is removed for one of the following reasons: o Mechanical complication of breast prosthesis; including rupture or failed implant; o Infection or inflammatory reaction due to breast prosthesis; including infected breast implant, or rejection of

    breast implants; o Implant extrusion; o Siliconoma or granuloma; o Interference with diagnosis of breast cancer; o Breast pain; and o Painful capsular contracture with disfigurement.

    Mastectomy for gynecomastia if it is documented that the tissue is primarily breast tissue and not just adipose

    (fatty tissue) Tattooing to correct color defects of the skin may be considered reconstructive when performed in connection with

    a payable post-mastectomy reconstruction, or for reconstruction following trauma or removal of cancer from an eyelid, eyebrow or lip(s)

    Punch graft hair transplant may be considered reconstructive when it is performed for eyebrow(s) or symmetric hairline replacement following a burn injury or tumor removal

    Chemical Peel is covered for the treatment of actinic keratosis Segmental dermabrasion of the face is covered for the treatment of rhinophyma

    Dermal injections for facial LDS using dermal fillers approved by the FDA for this purpose, and then only in HIV-infected Medicare beneficiaries who manifest depression secondary to the physical stigma of HIV treatment will be covered (See Pub. 100-03, NCD, chapter 1, section 250.5, for specific coverage criteria. See Pub. 100-04, Claims Processing Manual, chapter 32, section 260, for specific claims payment/coding instructions)

    Surgical removal of excessive fat and skin from the abdomen when the surgery is to alleviate complicating factors

    such as: o Inability to walk normally; o Chronic pain; and o Ulceration or infection created by the abdominal skin fold or dermatitis.

    Excision, excessive skin and subcutaneous tissue (including lipectomy); abdomen (abdominoplasty) will be considered reasonable and medically necessary when these procedures are performed due to another surgery being done at the same time and would affect the healing of the surgical incision. This procedure may also be

    covered for the patient that has had a significant weight-loss following the treatment of morbid obesity and there are medical complications such as candidiasis, intertrigo, or tissue necrosis that is unresponsive to oral or topical medication

    Suction assisted lipectomy to remove a lipoma, unless lipoma is the etiology of critical symptoms or other disease

    such as erosion, obstruction of contiguous structure; Repair of the upper eyelid when skin is sufficiently low to produce functional complaints, causing visual field

    impairment; and Nasal surgery generally performed to improve the following:

    o Respiratory function due to airway obstruction or stricture; o Correct anatomic abnormalities caused by birth defects or disease, or revise structural deformities produced

    by trauma; o Revise structural deformities due to nasal cutaneous disease; o Treat congenital anatomic anomalies; such as cleft lip nasal deformities, choanal atresia, and oronasal or

    oromaxillary fistula; and o Replace nasal tissue lost after tumor ablation.

    Rhinoplasty when there is photographic documentation (all of the following: frontal, lateral and worms eye view) of the individuals condition, and the procedure is performed for correction or repair of any of the following: o Nasal deformity secondary to a cleft lip/palate or other congenital craniofacial deformity causing a functional

    impairment.

    o Chronic, nonseptal, nasal obstruction due to vestibular stenosis (i.e., collapsed internal valves).

    o Secondary to trauma, disease, congenital defect with nasal airway obstruction unresponsive to a recent trial of conservative medical management lasting at least six weeks that has either not resolved after previous septoplasty/turbinectomy or would not be expected to resolve with septoplasty/turbinectomy alone.

    Septoplasty is considered medically necessary when performed for any of the following indications: o Septal deviation causing nasal airway obstruction that has proved unresponsive to a recent trial of

    conservative medical management lasting at least six weeks.

    o Recurrent sinusitis secondary to a deviated septum that does not resolve after appropriate medical and antibiotic therapy.

    o Recurrent epistaxis related to a septal deformity. o Asymptomatic septal deformity that prevents access to other transnasal areas when such access is required to

    perform medically necessary procedures (e.g., ethmoidectomy). o Performed in association with cleft lip or cleft palate repair.

    o Obstructed nasal breathing due to septal deformity or deviation that has proved unresponsive to medical management and is interfering with the effective use of medically necessary Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) for the treatment of an obstructive sleep disorder.

    Flaps (Skin and/or Deep Tissues) Procedures: 15570 - 15738 The regions listed refer to a donor site when a tube is formed for later transfer or when a delay of flap occurs

    prior to the transfer. Codes 15732 15738 are described by donor site of the muscle, myocutaneous or fasciocutaneous flap

    A repair of a donor site requiring a skin graft or local flaps is considered an additional separate procedure CPT codes 15756 15758 represent microvascular flaps CPT codes 15570 15576 represent flaps without inclusion of a vascular pedicle

    CPT codes 14000 14302 represent flaps for adjacent tissue transfer Regions listed in adjacent tissue transfer codes refer to recipient area (not the donor site) when a flap is being

    attached in a transfer or to a final site Codes 15570 15738 do not include extensive immobilization (e.g., large plaster casts and other immobilizing

    devices are considered additional separate procedures)

    Other Flaps and Grafts Procedures: 15740 15777 For code 15740, the physician forms an island pedicle flap. A defect is covered by elevation of a flap of skin and

    subcutaneous tissue from a nearby but not immediately adjacent donor site. The flap involves an anatomically named blood vessel in its creation. Often this tissue will be transferred through a tunnel underneath the skin and sutured into its new position. The donor site is closed directly.

    Neurovascular pedicle procedures are reported with 15750. Report 15750 if the pedicle is neurovascular, containing functional motor or sensory nerve(s) and blood vessel elements. A neurovascular pedicle flap (15750)

    is a type of graft where the pedicle consists of the artery and vein that provide the blood supply and includes the nerve as well. This flap serves to re-innervate a damaged portion of the body dependent on touch or movement (e.g., thumb). The flap is typically transferred through a tunnel underneath the skin and sutured into its new position.

    In both cases, repair of the donor site that requires a skin graft or local flaps is considered an additional, separate procedure and should be coded separately. Extensive immobilization and/or repair of the donor site is reported separately.

    For random island flaps, V-Y subcutaneous flaps, advancement flaps and other flaps from adjacent areas without clearly defined anatomically named axial vessels; see 14000 14302.

    Documentation Requirements

    Reduction Mammoplasty documentation should include the evaluation and management note for the date of service and the note for the day the decision to perform surgery was made. The beneficiary's medical record must contain,

    and be available for review on request, the following information: 1. Height and weight 2. Body Surface Area (BSA) 3. Clinical evaluation of the signs and/or symptoms ascribed to the macromastia, therapies prior to reduction

    mammoplasty and the responses to these therapies. 4. The operative report with documentation of the weight of tissue removed from each breast, obtained in the

    operating room.

    5. The pathology report with the weight of the tissue removed from each breast. 6. Documentation of back or neck or shoulder pain from macromastia that was unrelieved by 6 months of

    conservative analgesia, supportive measures (garment, etc.), and physical therapy. Abdominoplasty documentation must contain a description of the pannus and the underlying skin and a description of conservative treatment undertaken and the results of that treatment. The medical record should also include the

    evaluation and management note in which the decision to perform surgery was made, surgical note and any notes

    indicating medical complications necessitating the surgery. Rhytidectomy documentation should include the evaluation and management note in which the decision to perform surgery was made, surgical note and any notes documenting the functional impairment. Pre-operative photographs must be made available upon UnitedHealthcare request for punch graft hair transplants.

    Documentation in the progress notes for tattooing, to correct color defects of the skin must indicate the prior condition i.e. post-mastectomy, trauma necessitating the reconstruction.

    Proprietary Information of UnitedHealthcare. Copyright 2017 United HealthCare Services, Inc.

    For dermal injections, the medical record must contain evidence of the diagnosis of HIV and treatment with Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART). In addition, description of facial abnormalities consistent with LDS must be present as well as description of depressive symptoms.

    Services Related to and Required as a Result of Services Which Are Not Covered Under Medicare Services "related to" cosmetic surgery including services related to follow-up care and complications of non-covered services which require treatment during a hospital stay, in which the non-covered service was performed, are not covered services under Medicare. All submitted non-covered or no payment claims using condition code 21 will be processed to completion, and all services on those claims, since they are submitted as non-covered, will be denied. The default liability for payment of

    these claims is assigned to the beneficiary, who may then submit the denial from UnitedHealthcare, as the primary payer, to subsequent payer(s) for consideration. After a beneficiary has been discharged from the hospital stay in which the beneficiary received non-covered services, medical and hospital services required to treat a condition or complication that arises as a result of the prior non-covered services may be covered when they are reasonable and necessary in all other respects. Thus, coverage could

    be provided for subsequent inpatient stays or outpatient treatment ordinarily covered by Medicare, even if the need for treatment arose because of a previous non-covered procedure. Some examples of services that may be found to

    be covered under this policy are the reversal of intestinal bypass surgery for obesity, repair of complications from breast augmentation surgery, removal of a non-covered breast prosthesis, or treatment of any infection at the surgical site of a cosmetic procedure that occurred following discharge from the hospital. However, any subsequent services that could be expected to have been incorporated into a global fee are not covered.

    Thus, where a patient undergoes cosmetic surgery and the treatment regimen calls for a series of postoperative visits to the surgeon for evaluating the patient's progress, these visits are not covered. APPLICABLE CODES The following list(s) of codes is provided for reference purposes only and may not be all inclusive. Listing of a code in this guideline does not imply that the service described by the code is a covered or non-covered health service.

    Benefit coverage for health services is determined by the member specific benefit plan document and applicable laws that may require coverage for a specific service. The inclusion of a code does not imply any right to reimbursement or guarantee claim payment. Other Policies and Guidelines may apply.

    DEFINITIONS

    Abdominoplasty: A procedure typically performed for cosmetic purposes, involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the pubis to the umbilicus or above, and may include fascial plication of the rectus muscle diastasis and a neoumbilicoplasty. Cervicoplasty: The physician removes excess skin from the neck area. The physician marks the area to be removed. The skin is incised and the excess tissue is resected. The skin is reapproximated and sutured in layers.

    Cosmetic: Cosmetic surgery is performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve the patients appearance and self-esteem. Surgery performed to improve on natural appearance or performed purely for the purpose of enhancing ones normal appearance is not considered reasonable and necessary. Functional/Physical Impairment: A physical/functional or physiological impairment causes deviation from the

    normal function of a tissue or organ. This results in a significantly limited, impaired, or delayed capacity to move,
