What 58553 covers
A gynecologic surgeon uses laparoscopic access to mobilize or assist with removal of the uterus, then completes the hysterectomy through the vagina. This approach may be used for conditions such as fibroids or adenomyosis when the uterus weighs more than 250 g. The operation is performed in a surgical setting, with the operative report describing the laparoscopic and vaginal portions of the procedure.
Select this code when the documented uterine weight is over 250 g and the procedure uses the laparoscopic-assisted vaginal approach. When removal of one or both tubes or ovaries is also part of the procedure, compare the service with 58554. The code has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. For multiple procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are reduced to 50%. Assistant-at-surgery payment and co-surgeons are permitted; team surgery is not. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this hysterectomy.

58553 billing questions
How does this code differ from 58554?
Use 58553 for the laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy when the uterus weighs more than 250 g and removal of tubes or ovaries is not part of the coded service. Code 58554 includes removal of one or both tubes and/or ovaries.
What supports the greater-than-250-g selection?
Document the uterine weight and the laparoscopic-assisted vaginal approach in the operative record. Pathology findings may support the weight selection when they report the specimen weight.
Is this the code for a total laparoscopic hysterectomy?
No. This code describes a laparoscopic-assisted vaginal approach. A total laparoscopic hysterectomy is performed laparoscopically rather than completed through the vagina.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
CMS permits payment for an assistant at surgery and permits co-surgeons for this procedure. Team surgery is not permitted.
How does the 90-day global period affect postoperative billing?
The day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the 90-day period are included in the global service.
Should modifier 50 be used?
No. Bilateral adjustment is inappropriate for this hysterectomy.
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.
