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.
