In simple words: This code is used when you see a healthcare provider to have an IUD inserted.
This code is used for encounters with health services for the insertion of an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD).It covers the visit specifically for the IUD insertion procedure itself.
Example 1: A patient presents to her gynecologist's office for insertion of a hormonal IUD after having a consultation about birth control options two weeks prior., A patient presents to a family planning clinic for IUD insertion during the same visit as her initial consultation., A patient who had her IUD removed due to expiring returns for reinsertion of a new IUD.In this case, Z30.433 would be more appropriate if the removal and insertion are performed within the same operative session.
Documentation should include the type of IUD inserted, the insertion procedure details, patient counseling and consent, and any post-procedure instructions provided.
** This code refers specifically to the insertion of the IUD. It is not for the removal of an IUD or for routine checks. If the IUD is removed and reinserted during the same encounter, use Z30.433. If the visit is for removal only, Z30.432 is used. If the visit is for a routine IUD check, Z30.431 is used.For initial consultations or prescriptions for an IUD without insertion, use Z30.014.
