What 59525 covers

Code 59525 captures removal of the uterus, either subtotal or total, performed after delivery by cesarean in the same operative setting. An obstetrician-gynecologist or other surgeon may perform this additional operation when the uterus must be removed, such as with placenta accreta spectrum or hemorrhage that cannot be controlled while preserving the uterus. It is not for a cesarean delivery alone or a hysterectomy performed as a separate later operation.

Report 59525 only with the primary cesarean procedure; eligible cesarean codes include 59510, 59514, and 59515. The operative report should establish the cesarean delivery, subsequent hysterectomy, extent of uterine removal, and clinical reason. CMS classifies 59525 as an add-on code: submit it with the primary cesarean code, with payment assigned within that procedure's global period.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

59525 billing questions

Which cesarean codes can accompany 59525?

Report it with the primary cesarean procedure, such as 59510, 59514, or 59515. The record must support both the cesarean and the additional hysterectomy.

Can 59525 be billed by itself?

No. CMS identifies it as an add-on code that must be billed with a primary procedure.

Does 59525 include subtotal and total hysterectomy?

Yes. It covers either extent when the hysterectomy follows cesarean delivery; document whether the uterus was removed in whole or in part.

What documentation supports reporting 59525?

The operative report should describe the cesarean delivery, the subsequent hysterectomy, its extent, and the clinical reason for removing the uterus.

Can this code represent a hysterectomy performed later?

No. It is for hysterectomy performed after cesarean delivery in the same operative setting, not a separate later 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.
