Gynecologic surgery
About 59150: Laparoscopic ectopic pregnancy treatment, organ preserving
Laparoscopic surgery to treat an ectopic pregnancy while preserving the fallopian tube and ovary, reported when operative management is performed through laparoscopy.
CPT 59150 represents laparoscopic operative management of an ectopic pregnancy when the fallopian tube and ovary are retained. A gynecologic surgeon, commonly an obstetrician-gynecologist, performs the procedure in an operating room, often for a tubal ectopic pregnancy. It describes surgical treatment, not medication management such as methotrexate alone.
Report this code when the operative documentation supports laparoscopic treatment and confirms that salpingectomy and oophorectomy were not performed; use the related code 59151 when either removal is performed. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted. Modifier 50 is inappropriate.

59150 billing questions
When should 59150 be chosen instead of 59151?
Use 59150 for laparoscopic ectopic pregnancy treatment when neither the fallopian tube nor ovary is removed. Use 59151 when salpingectomy or oophorectomy is performed.
How does 59150 differ from 59121?
Both describe ectopic pregnancy treatment without salpingectomy or oophorectomy, but 59150 is laparoscopic. Code 59121 represents the nonlaparoscopic approach.
Can modifier 50 be appended?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code; modifier 50 should not be used.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant or another surgeon be reported?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted under the CMS rules for this code.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures performed in that session are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction.
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.
