Code the IUD removal CPT with a -53 modifier.
While the hormonal IUD can't be relied on for birth control after its removal date, there is no harm in leaving the IUD in place after its removal date.
All Medicaid programs cover removal of an IUD.
Fertility returns to your baseline after removal of the IUD. Whether it's easy to get pregnant after removal depends on your fertility, not the IUD.
No; the IUD does not make a hole in your uterus, nor does removal. It rests in the empty space in the uterus.
An IUD removal will not cause hormonally-based hot flashes.
Medicaid plans cover IUD removal.
There is no known risk of uterine damage with IUD removal. If the IUD was removed intact, there are no other concerns. Please contact your health care provider to discuss any symptoms or worries you're experiencing.
Immediately.

I had the mirena iud for 5 years.... two weeks after removal i got a normal period, and then became pregnant with twins. There are twins in my family, so im not sure if the mirena removal is what caused the twins but it is certainly suspect.
The sensation of IUD removal is a lot like that for IUD insertion, but much briefer. Instead of inserting both the sound (measurer) and insertor for the insertion, there's a single cramp as the IUD is removed.
