What 59325 covers

59325 describes operative revision of the cervix through an abdominal approach, including surgery addressing cervical stenosis or incompetence. An obstetrician-gynecologist or maternal-fetal medicine surgeon may perform it in an operating room. The abdominal route distinguishes this service from a vaginal cervical procedure; it is not the code for a routine vaginal cerclage during pregnancy.

Report the code when the operative documentation identifies the cervical problem, abdominal approach, and revision performed. This is a minor procedure with a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

59325 billing questions

How is 59325 different from 59320?

59325 is abdominal cervical revision, including work for stenosis or incompetence. 59320 describes vaginal cerclage during pregnancy.

What documentation supports 59325?

Document the cervical condition, the abdominal approach, and the specific revision performed. The operative report should make clear that the work involved the cervix rather than the uterus or vagina.

Is same-day postoperative care separately reported?

No. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care.

Can modifier 50 be used, and may an assistant be paid?

Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery payment is allowed only when medical necessity is documented.

How does Medicare handle other procedures performed in the same session?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
