What 56810 covers

This procedure repairs and reconstructs the perineal body, the tissue between the vaginal opening and anus. Gynecologists, urogynecologists, and other surgeons may perform it for a nonobstetric perineal defect, such as separation or scarring after prior trauma or surgery. The operative target is the perineum, rather than an isolated vaginal-wall injury or the vaginal opening itself; the procedure may be performed in an operating room or another suitable surgical setting.

Report the code when the operative documentation supports nonobstetric repair confined to the perineum. Describe the defect and its cause, the tissues repaired, and the work performed; use a broader or different repair code when vaginal-wall repair or another distinct operative target is involved. CMS assigns a 10-day global period, so related postoperative visits during that period are included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate under the CMS bilateral rule. CMS permits assistant-at-surgery and co-surgeon payment, but not team-surgery payment.

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.

56810 billing questions

How do I distinguish this from repair of a vaginal injury?

Use this code for repair focused on the perineal body. A repair directed at an injury of the vaginal wall is a different service, such as the nonobstetric vaginal-injury repair represented by 57200.

Is repair of the vaginal opening included?

The defining target is the perineum, not an isolated plastic repair of the introitus. If the operative work addresses both distinct areas, review the procedure details and applicable coding guidance before reporting separate services.

Are routine postoperative visits separately reported?

Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in this procedure's payment.

Can modifier 50 be used for a bilateral repair?

No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inapplicable to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

CMS permits payment for an assistant at surgery and for co-surgeons under this code. Team-surgery payment 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.
