Enctr srvlnc implantable subdermal contraceptive

Encounter for surveillance of implantable subdermal contraceptive

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a patient visit specifically for the ongoing monitoring and management of a subdermal contraceptive implant, such as Nexplanon. It covers routine checks to ensure the device is in place, functioning correctly, and to address any patient concerns related to its presence or effects.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code when a patient presents for a follow-up appointment after the initial insertion of a subdermal contraceptive implant. This includes scheduled annual checks, visits for concerns about implant integrity or location, or discussions regarding side effects while the implant is still in place.

💡Coding Tips

Do not use for initial insertion or removal of the implant; separate procedure codes will apply.
If complications or specific side effects are being addressed, code those conditions secondary to this surveillance code.
Ensure documentation clearly states the purpose of the visit is for surveillance of the implantable subdermal contraceptive.
