Question:
We are still expanding the TE outside of the global period from the breast reconstruction with placement of the TE. How do we bill this?
Answer:
There is not a specific CPT code for doing a tissue expander expansion. Therefore, it is just part of your E/M code for the service you’ve provided on that day.
