What 57160 covers
A clinician, commonly a gynecologist or urogynecologist, selects and inserts an intravaginal support device such as a pessary. The visit may involve assessing fit and confirming that the device stays in position and can be tolerated. Pessaries are commonly used for pelvic organ prolapse and may be used for stress urinary incontinence. The service is typically performed in an office, though it can also occur in a facility.
Report the service for fitting and insertion of the support device, not for a contraceptive diaphragm fitting. Document the clinical indication, device selected, fitting and insertion, and relevant assessment of fit. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is 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% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. CMS lists no assistant-at-surgery payment; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this service.
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.

57160 billing questions
When should 57160 be used instead of 57170?
Use 57160 for fitting and inserting an intravaginal support device such as a pessary. Use 57170 for fitting a diaphragm or cervical cap for contraception.
Can a separate E/M service be reported on the same date?
A separately identifiable E/M service may be reported when the documentation supports work beyond the fitting and insertion and the included same-day care. The device fitting itself is not a separate E/M service.
Should modifier 50 be appended for a pessary fitted to support both sides?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
What documentation supports reporting 57160?
Document the indication, the type of support device selected, the fitting and insertion, and the assessment of its fit and tolerance.
How does the 0-day global period affect same-day care?
Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in the service. CMS assigns no postoperative global days beyond the day of the procedure.
How is 57160 affected when other procedures are performed in the same session?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%.
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.
