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

What 58970 covers

A reproductive endocrinologist or other qualified physician typically retrieves oocytes after ovarian stimulation, commonly using a needle guided by transvaginal ultrasound to aspirate fluid from ovarian follicles. The procedure is performed as part of an assisted reproduction cycle; the collected follicular fluid and oocytes then go to the embryology laboratory for identification and related laboratory work.

Report the retrieval procedure, not a separate unit for each oocyte collected. The record should support the follicular aspiration and its purpose in the treatment cycle. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When other procedures subject to the multiple procedure rule occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. An assistant is paid only when medical necessity is documented; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
