1. Procedure and CPTCode Selection:
The scenario describes the removal and replacement of an inflatable penile prosthesis due to erectile dysfunction.
CPTCode 54416 is specifically used for the removal and replacement of a multi-component inflatable penile prosthesis. This code accurately describes the procedure performed.
2. Rationale for Excluding Other Options:
Code 54401 represents the initial insertion of a multi-component inflatable penile prosthesis but does not cover removal and replacement, making it inappropriate for this scenario.
Code 54400 is for the insertion of a non-inflatable (malleable) penile prosthesis, which does not apply here as the prosthesis is inflatable.
Code 4417 does not exist in the CPTcoding system and is likely a typo or incorrect option.
3. AAPC and CPTCoding Guidelines:
According to AAPC and CPTguidelines, 54416 is the correct code when an inflatable prosthesis requires both removal and replacement, without the need for additional modifiers for this procedure.
Therefore, the correct answer based on CPTguidelines is D. 54416.
