What 51925 covers
51925 describes abdominal surgery to close an abnormal tract connecting the bladder and uterus when the operation also removes the uterus. The tract may follow prior uterine surgery, including cesarean delivery; the surgeon separates the bladder from the uterus, closes the communication, and performs hysterectomy. A gynecologic surgeon, urologist, or surgeons working together may perform the operation in a hospital operating room. This service differs from repairing a bladder-vaginal fistula or a bladder defect without a uterine connection.
Report the code when the operative documentation establishes the vesicouterine fistula, abdominal approach, closure, and hysterectomy as part of the operation; the hysterectomy is included in this service. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in the same session, CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and reduces the others to 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

51925 billing questions
How does 51925 differ from 51920?
Both describe abdominal closure of a vesicouterine fistula. Use 51925 when hysterectomy is performed as part of the fistula operation; 51920 describes closure without hysterectomy.
Can the hysterectomy be reported separately?
The hysterectomy is included in 51925 when it is performed as part of the vesicouterine fistula operation. Do not report a separate hysterectomy code for that same work.
Should modifier 50 be appended?
No. CMS specifies that bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
What happens when other procedures are performed in the same session?
CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and reduces the other procedures to 50%. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
