Replacement of Under-the-Skin Drug Implant

Kansas rates for HCPCS 11983

This procedure removes an existing medication implant from just beneath the skin and replaces it with a new one during the same visit. These small rod-like implants release medication steadily over time, and a common example is a hormonal birth control implant placed in the upper arm. The old device is taken out through a small incision and a fresh one is inserted in its place.
