What 58322 covers
This service places prepared sperm into the uterine cavity through a catheter as part of infertility care. A physician or other qualified clinician typically performs the insemination in an office or fertility clinic; sperm preparation may be performed separately by laboratory staff. The key distinction from intracervical insemination is the destination of the sperm, not simply the use of a catheter or the infertility diagnosis.
Report the service when documentation supports intrauterine placement, including the clinical encounter and the insemination performed. Sperm washing is a distinct service and may be reported separately when performed and documented. 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 subject to the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeon and team-surgery payment are not permitted.
