Medically Necessary Circumcision
Male circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin (prepuce), which is the layer of skin covering the head (glans) of the penis. The foreskin provides sensation and lubrication for the penis. After the foreskin is removed, it can't be put back on again.
Limits
Newborn circumcision applies to a healthy newborn age 28 days or less and may be performed while the baby is in the hospital or in an office setting.
Non-newborn circumcision applies beyond the newborn period, meaning greater than 28 days of age.
Circumcision is covered only once per lifetime when medically necessary
Exclusions
When repair of incomplete circumcision is performed as a post-circumcision procedure, the date of the original circumcision must be noted in the health record.
