The Clinical Coding and Schedule Development (CCSD) develops and maintains procedural and diagnostics nomenclature for private payers in England. Once codes are added to the Schedule, a private insurance company can develop reimbursement tariff for these procedures and tests.
The CCSD Group has approved the following procedure codes for publication to the CCSD Schedule in November:
- Reconstruction of breast using stacked deep inferior epigastric perforator flap (DIEP) (including delayed reconstruction) - unilateral (2 flaps) (B2983)
- Reconstruction of breast using stacked deep inferior epigastric perforator flap (DIEP) (including delayed reconstruction) - bilateral (2 flaps per breast) (B2993)
