What 19361 covers

A surgeon, commonly a plastic surgeon, reconstructs the breast by moving latissimus dorsi tissue from the back to the chest while maintaining its blood supply. The flap may include overlying skin, depending on the reconstructive plan. This approach is used for breast reconstruction, often after mastectomy, and is generally performed in a hospital or other facility setting.

Report 19361 when the operative work reconstructs the breast with a latissimus dorsi flap; document the indication, recipient site, flap source, and operative technique. CMS assigns major-surgery status, so the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included. For multiple procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
