What 57180 covers

This service treats active bleeding from the vagina, commonly by placing gauze or another pack in the vaginal canal to apply pressure. A gynecologist or another clinician managing gynecologic bleeding may perform it in an office, emergency department, or hospital setting. The service is treatment rather than evaluation alone; a visit to identify the source without bleeding-control treatment is not this procedure.

Report 57180 when the record supports active vaginal bleeding and documents the treatment performed, such as placement of a vaginal pack. The code has 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 the others are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for it; co-surgeons and team surgery are 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.

57180 billing questions

When should 57180 be reported instead of a vaginal biopsy?

Use 57180 for treatment of active vaginal bleeding, such as control with packing. A biopsy code describes sampling vaginal tissue, not bleeding control.

Does placing a vaginal pack support 57180?

It can: vaginal packing is a typical method of treating vaginal bleeding under this code. Document the bleeding and the treatment performed.

Are related postoperative visits separately payable?

Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in the procedure.

Should modifier 50 be added for bleeding from both sides?

No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.

Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?

Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for 57180, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?

Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the 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.
