What 58552 covers

A gynecologic surgeon uses laparoscopy to assist the operation, then removes the uterus through the vagina. The code includes removal of one or more fallopian tubes and/or ovaries during the same operation. It is used for conditions such as symptomatic fibroids or abnormal uterine bleeding when hysterectomy is selected and the operative approach is laparoscopic-assisted vaginal rather than entirely laparoscopic.

Select this code when the documented approach is laparoscopic-assisted vaginal, adnexal tissue is removed, and the uterus weighs 250 grams or less. The operative report should support the surgical route and removal performed; the specimen or pathology record can support uterine weight. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that 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. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be allowed, co-surgeons are permitted, and team surgery is not permitted. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code.
