2025 ICD-10-CM code Z30.432
Encounter for removal of intrauterine contraceptive device.
Medical necessity for IUD removal is determined by the patient's individual circumstances and reasons for wanting the device removed. Generally, removal is considered medically necessary if the patient experiences complications, desires pregnancy, or the IUD has reached its expiration date.
The clinician is responsible for assessing the patient's medical history and current condition, discussing potential risks and benefits of IUD removal, performing the removal procedure using appropriate techniques, providing post-removal care instructions, and addressing any patient concerns or questions.
In simple words: This code is used when you see a doctor to have your IUD removed.
This code is used to document an encounter with a healthcare provider for the specific purpose of removing an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD).
Example 1: A patient presents to her gynecologist's office to have her IUD removed because she is planning to conceive., A patient has her IUD removed due to experiencing complications such as pain, bleeding, or infection., A patient's IUD has reached its expiration date and she has it removed and replaced with a new one or chooses an alternative contraceptive method.
Documentation should include details about the type of IUD being removed, the indication for removal (e.g., patient's request, complications), the removal procedure itself, any complications encountered during removal, and post-removal instructions provided to the patient.
** It is important to note that if the patient has the IUD removed and a new one inserted or an alternative contraceptive method is provided during the same encounter, additional codes would be used to capture those services, such as Z30.433 for removal and reinsertion of IUD in the same encounter, or other relevant Z codes for initiation of alternative contraceptive methods. CPT code 58301 is reported for the removal of the IUD.
