What 58679 covers

A gynecologic surgeon reports this code for a laparoscopic operation involving a fallopian tube or ovary that does not match a specific listed procedure code. The operative report should identify the anatomy treated, the surgical approach and technique, the work performed, and why a listed code does not describe the procedure. It is not a substitute for a specific code when the operation matches a defined service such as tubal cauterization, tubal occlusion, or removal of an adnexal structure.

Medicare assigns status C: there is no national physician fee schedule payment, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor prices each claim. The contractor also sets the global period. Standard multiple-procedure reduction applies when other procedures are performed in the same session; modifier 50 is used for bilateral procedures. Include documentation that supports the unlisted-code selection and allows the contractor to assess the service.

How to choose

58670Tubal sterilizationLaparoscopic cautery
58670 describes laparoscopic tubal cauterization. Use 58679 only when the operation on the tube or ovary is not accurately represented by that or another specific code.
58671Tubal occlusionLaparoscopic device method
58671 describes laparoscopic tubal occlusion. It is the specific choice when occlusion is performed; 58679 is for a different unlisted procedure.
58661Adnexal removalOvary and/or fallopian tube
58661 describes laparoscopic removal of an adnexal structure. Choose it when removal is the operation performed rather than reporting that work as unlisted.

58679 billing questions

When should 58679 be used instead of a specific laparoscopy code?

Use it only when the laparoscopic procedure on the fallopian tube or ovary does not match a specific listed code. For example, tubal cauterization and tubal occlusion have specific codes when those procedures are performed.

What documentation should accompany 58679?

The operative report should describe the treated anatomy, approach, technique, and work performed, and explain why a listed procedure code does not fit.

How does Medicare price 58679?

Status C means CMS publishes no national physician fee schedule payment; the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim.

Does the contractor set the global period?

Yes. The Medicare contractor determines the global period for this code.

How should bilateral work be reported?

Use modifier 50 for bilateral procedures; the Medicare contractor prices the claim.

What happens when other procedures are performed in the same session?

Standard multiple-procedure reduction applies when procedures are performed in the same session.

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.
