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

What 58544 covers

A gynecologic surgeon performs this laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy for a uterus weighing more than 250 g, removing the uterine body while leaving the cervix in place. The procedure also includes removal of one or both fallopian tubes and/or ovaries. It may be used for conditions such as symptomatic fibroids or abnormal uterine bleeding when hysterectomy is selected. These operations are typically performed in a hospital or ambulatory surgery facility.

Choose this code when the operative approach is laparoscopic, the cervix is retained, the uterus exceeds the 250 g threshold, and tubes and/or ovaries are removed. The operative report should establish the approach, cervical status, adnexal removal, and uterine weight; pathology documentation can support specimen weight. The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the global period. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Bilateral adjustment does not apply, so modifier 50 is not appropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available, and co-surgeons are permitted; team surgery is not permitted.
