CPT code 58542: Supracervical hysterectomy2026 Medicare rate & RVUs

Medicare pays $733.48 for 58542 nationally in a facility.

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

What 58542 covers

A gynecologic surgeon removes the uterine body laparoscopically and leaves the cervix in place. This code is for cases that also include removal of at least one fallopian tube and/or ovary, such as a tube removed during hysterectomy for symptomatic fibroids or abnormal uterine bleeding. The procedure is generally performed in a hospital operating room or an ambulatory surgery setting. The uterine weight determines whether this code or a higher-weight code in the family applies.

Report the code when the operative record supports the supracervical approach, adnexal removal, and uterine weight of 250 g or less; pathology documentation can help substantiate weight. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. 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% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. CMS permits assistant-at-surgery and co-surgeon payment; team surgery is not permitted.
