What 57720 covers

A gynecologist performs this operation through the vagina to repair or reconstruct the cervix, commonly for an acquired defect such as a cervical laceration with resulting distortion. The surgeon may reshape and suture cervical tissue to restore its anatomy. The service is typically performed in an operating room; documentation should identify the cervical defect and describe the repair performed.

Report the service when the operative work is cervical reconstruction, not placement of a cerclage or removal of cervical tissue for a lesion. The operative report should support the indication, vaginal approach, and extent of repair. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

57720 billing questions

How does this differ from 57700?

57720 repairs or reconstructs cervical tissue, such as an acquired defect. 57700 is for cervical cerclage during pregnancy, which provides cervical support.

Can a cervical biopsy or excision be reported with the repair?

The repair code represents reconstructive work, not diagnostic sampling or lesion removal. Separately report another service only when it was distinct, performed, and supported by the operative documentation.

What documentation supports reporting 57720?

Document the cervical defect or injury, why repair was needed, the vaginal approach, and the tissue-repair steps performed.

Does the 90-day global include postoperative visits?

Related postoperative care for 90 days is included, along with the day-before preoperative visit.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

An assistant at surgery may be paid. CMS does not permit co-surgeons or team surgery for this code.

Should modifier 50 be used?

No. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this cervical repair.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
