Our physician is performing a labia reduction on a patient, and I am not sure on the code. In CPT, the code 56800 appears to be the closest code to what he will be doing, however its truly not a plastic repair. Has anybody ever coded for this procedure before? Help!!! :)
 
Yes- the patient is complaining that it is 'too big' Not sure if insurance will even cover this for patient as it may be considered cosmetic.
 
I believe this is called a labiaplasty and it would depend if it is a partial or complete. The code that ACOG recommends for labiaplasty is 56620 (vulvectomy,simple;partial or Complete labiaplasty is 56625. ) The dx code series is normally in the 624 (eg, ICD-9cm code 624.3, hypertrophy of labia).
