Dr. does a revision 27486, but can you charge for the removal of the prosthesis 27488 too?

Thank you

If he is doing a revision the removal of the prosthesis is included in the revision code. If he is only removing the prosthesis and planning on re-implanting at a lter date then you would only code the removal
