Fertility treatment

About 58321: Intrauterine sperm insemination

Reports placement of prepared sperm into the uterine cavity by catheter during fertility treatment, such as a planned intrauterine insemination cycle.

A clinician passes a thin catheter through the cervix and deposits sperm into the uterine cavity, commonly as part of a timed fertility treatment cycle. Gynecologists and reproductive endocrinologists typically perform the procedure in a fertility clinic or office. The sperm may come from a partner or donor; the insemination technique, rather than the sperm source, distinguishes this service from intracervical insemination.

Choose this code when sperm is placed in the uterus, and document the insemination site and procedure performed. Report sperm washing separately when that service is performed and documented. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. With multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Why are the office and facility amounts different?

For 58321 in Austin, the physician’s office rate is $86.10 and the facility-setting rate is $41.57: a difference of $44.53.

58321 billing questions

How do I distinguish this from 58322?

Use 58321 when sperm is deposited in the uterine cavity. Code 58322 describes placement in the cervix.

Can sperm washing be reported separately?

Yes. When sperm washing is performed and documented, report 58323 separately from the insemination service.

Should modifier 50 be appended?

No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply, and modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service.

What same-day care is included?

The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. If multiple procedures are performed in the session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%.

What documentation supports reporting 58321?

Document that sperm was placed in the uterine cavity, the procedure performed, and relevant details such as the sperm source and any separately performed sperm washing.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
