Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 57240 covers

A gynecologist or urogynecologist typically performs this vaginal operation to restore support to the anterior vaginal wall, often for a cystocele. The surgeon accesses the weakened support layer through the vagina, reinforces it with sutures, and closes the vaginal incision. It is generally performed in an operating room, commonly in a facility setting, when anterior compartment prolapse warrants surgical repair.

Report 57240 when the operative work is an anterior vaginal wall repair; document the affected compartment, findings, approach, and repair performed. When anterior and posterior colporrhaphy are both performed, consider the combined code 57260 rather than reporting the isolated repairs separately. The 90-day global includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. In the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. Do not append modifier 50. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
