CPT code for Brava?

Thank you, elliem6.

I actually found this information as well after I made my post. However, I decided to try to call Brava directly and ask if they could provide a CPT code. I received a phone call back today saying that they cannot provide a code because "fat grafting is in the hands of the FDA right now."

The reason I am seeking a CPT code is because my Medicaid provider said they will need the code in order to determine if the Brava is covered. In my initial consultation with my plastic surgeon, he told me that insurance never covers it, but I thought that I would just try to verify that on my own, with my own insurance coverage (Medicaid, WA state).

I then decided to do a search on "fat grafting fda" and discovered this page!

The article above states: "The FDA has now also approved the BRAVA® device as a class B device that
is reimburseable by Medicare, and thus presumably by insurance
companies."

And thus also presumably by Medicaid?

I called my doctor's office and read that statement to them. The woman taking my call was surprised by this and said that she would pass this info along to another person in the office who will be doing some research and calling me back. I am scheduled to begin this process in August, and I told her it would be nice to see what we can do between now and then to try to get Brava to be reimburseable. That article, by the way, was posted a little over a year ago! I wonder if RED TAPE is the only reason that reimbursement hasn't started happening for more women?

I'll follow up on this question when I know more. I am going in, by the way, this Thursday to have a mastectomy, just the left breast.
