A preoperative examination to clear the patient for surgery is part of the global surgical package, and should not be reported separately. You should report the appropriate ICD-10 code for preoperative clearance (i.e., Z01. 810 – Z01. 818) and the appropriate ICD-10 code for the condition that prompted surgery.

Breast reduction surgery involves removal of skin, fat and breast tissue to reduce breast mass. Liposuction removes only fatty tissue. Breast reduction surgery is performed when excess breast mass and weight causes medical problems such as submammary intertrigo (an inflammatory condition causing redness, burning, itching, skin disintegration and cracking underneath the breast), back, neck and shoulder pain, or thoracic outlet syndrome, which can lead to pain and loss of feeling in the arms or hands. Removal of excess breast tissue results in a decrease in breast mass and weight with the goal of relieving symptoms. In the absence of symptoms or associated conditions, breast reduction may be performed for cosmetic purposes to enhance appearance.
A large epidemiological study followed 30,457 Swedish women who had breast reduction surgery for a mean of 16 years (range 0.1 to 37.8 years) (Fryzek, 2006). A total of 443 breast cancers were observed during follow-up. Compared with the expected numbers of breast cancers calculated from rates in the general population of Swedish women, there were significantly fewer breast cancers among the women who had undergone breast reduction (standardized incidence ratio [SIR], 0.71, 95% CI, 0.65 to 0.78). Individuals were not randomized to intervention group and there may have been differences between women who had breast reduction surgery and the general population of women in ways that affected outcome, such as in breast cancer risk. The study did not have information on risk factors for breast cancer.

Medically Necessary: In this document, procedures are considered medically necessary if there is a significant functional impairment, AND the procedure can be reasonably expected to improve the functional impairment.
The authors concluded that reduction mammaplasty is a safe surgical procedure, even when performed on those with a high BMI. However, those with higher BMI have a greater risk of surgical site complications, and the risk should be discussed preoperatively with obese individuals.
Because breasts are paired organs, bilateral breast reduction mammaplasty may be considered appropriate if the amount of breast tissue anticipated for removal from at least one breast meets the minimum amount (weight) per the Schnur scale and all other criteria are met.
Medically Necessary: Reduction mammaplasty is considered medically necessary when either of the following criteria (I or II) are met: Individuals meeting BOTH of the following criteria (A and B): Presence of one or more of the following:
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Breast Cancer Risk Reduction guideline (V1.2020) does not mention reduction mammoplasty as a strategy for reducing risk of breast cancer . For individuals with a genetic mutation indicating a high-risk of breast cancer, the NCCN guideline recommends considering risk-reducing mastectomy and bilateral oophorectomy.
