Urogynecologic surgery
About 57285: Vaginal paravaginal defect repair
Reports vaginal reconstruction of a lateral vaginal support defect, commonly performed for prolapse caused by detachment of the vaginal wall from its pelvic support.
A urogynecologist, gynecologist, or pelvic reconstructive surgeon uses a vaginal route to restore support where the lateral vaginal wall has separated from its pelvic attachment. The repair may address an associated cystocele when that correction is part of the same operation. It is typically performed in a facility operating room for vaginal prolapse caused by a paravaginal defect.
Choose this code when the operative report documents repair of the lateral support defect through the vagina, rather than a central anterior wall repair or an abdominal approach. The note should identify the defect, route, and repair performed. The 90-day global 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 others are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment and co-surgeons are permitted; team surgery is not. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code.

57285 billing questions
How does this differ from 57284?
Both address a paravaginal support defect, but 57285 uses a vaginal route. Code 57284 is the open abdominal approach.
Can 57240 also be reported for a cystocele?
A cystocele corrected as part of the paravaginal repair is included in this service. Do not separately report 57240 for the same repair work; document any distinct, separately performed anterior wall repair clearly.
Can mesh insertion be reported with this repair?
When qualifying mesh or another prosthesis is inserted for the pelvic floor defect, 57267 is the related add-on code. The operative note should support the insertion and site.
Should modifier 50 be used for bilateral repair?
No. The code's anatomy and descriptor make modifier 50 inappropriate.
How are assistant and co-surgeon services treated?
CMS permits payment for an assistant at surgery and for co-surgeons. Team surgery is not permitted for this code.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the preoperative visit on the day before surgery and 90 days of related postoperative care.
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.
