What 57454 covers

A clinician uses a colposcope to examine the cervix and directs one or more tissue samples from suspicious areas, then obtains endocervical tissue by curettage. Gynecologists commonly perform the procedure in an office or outpatient setting after abnormal cervical cytology or a high-risk HPV result. The cervical biopsy and endocervical curettage specimens are typically sent for histologic examination.

Select this code when both cervical biopsy and endocervical curettage are performed with colposcopy; document the examination, biopsy sites, and curettage. The code includes these diagnostic sampling services, so do not separately report the same biopsy or curettage. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, including same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When related endoscopies are performed together, endoscopy-family pricing applies. Modifier 50 is inappropriate; assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted, and 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.

57454 billing questions

When should this code be chosen instead of 57455?

Use this code when colposcopy includes both cervical biopsy and endocervical curettage. Code 57455 describes the colposcopic cervical biopsy service without the curettage component.

Can the cervical biopsy and curettage be reported separately?

No. This code accounts for both sampling services when they are performed with colposcopy; do not separately report those same services.

How many cervical biopsies can be reported under this code?

The code includes one or more directed cervical biopsies along with endocervical curettage. Document the biopsy sites and the curettage performed.

Should modifier 50 be added for biopsies from both sides of the cervix?

No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code; multiple biopsy sites do not make it a bilateral service.

What global-period care is included?

The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. CMS also restricts assistant-at-surgery payment and does not permit co-surgeons or team surgery.

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.
