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

What 59300 covers

59300 covers surgical repair of an episiotomy or vaginal laceration associated with childbirth. It may describe repair performed by an obstetrician or another physician who did not attend the delivery, typically in a hospital labor-and-delivery setting. The service is distinct from the delivering physician's own repair as part of the delivery care.

Report the code when the record identifies the repairing physician as someone other than the attending physician and documents the obstetric repair performed. The code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
