What 58700 covers

A gynecologic surgeon removes part or all of a fallopian tube through an abdominal or pelvic operation. Typical situations include treating a tubal ectopic pregnancy or diseased tube, removing a hydrosalpinx, and permanent contraception. The code encompasses removal on one or both sides and is commonly performed in a facility operating room. When tube removal is part of a larger operation, report it separately only when the work is distinct and separately reportable rather than integral to that operation.

Document the side, extent of removal, indication, and operative work. CMS pricing is already bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. For same-session procedures, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

How to choose

58720Salpingo-oophorectomyUnilateral or bilateral
This code is for fallopian tube removal. Choose 58720 when the operation also removes an ovary.
58661Adnexal removalOvary and/or fallopian tube
This code describes tube removal without specifying a laparoscopic approach. Code 58661 is the laparoscopic option for removal of adnexal structures.
58670Tubal sterilizationLaparoscopic cautery
Code 58670 describes laparoscopic tubal sterilization by fulguration, which occludes the tube rather than removing it.

58700 billing questions

Does this code cover removal of one tube or both?

It covers complete or partial removal of one or both fallopian tubes. CMS pricing is already bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.

How is this different from 58720?

Use 58700 for removal of fallopian tube tissue without removal of an ovary. Code 58720 is the comparison when an ovary is removed along with tube tissue.

Can the tube removal be reported with a hysterectomy or another pelvic operation?

Report it separately only when the salpingectomy is distinct and separately reportable, rather than integral to the larger procedure. The operative report should describe the tube-removal work.

What documentation supports reporting this code?

Document the indication, side, whether removal was partial or complete, and the procedure performed. The operative report should make clear which tube tissue was removed.

How does the 90-day global period affect postoperative billing?

The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the global period. Same-session procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure payment reduction.

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.
