What 59151 covers
A gynecologic surgeon uses a laparoscope to remove an ectopic pregnancy, commonly one located in a fallopian tube. The operation may include removal of the affected tube or ovary when needed to complete treatment. This code identifies laparoscopic removal, rather than laparoscopic treatment that preserves the affected structure. These procedures are typically performed in an operating room, often in a facility setting.
Report the code when the operative documentation supports a laparoscopic approach and removal of the ectopic pregnancy. The report should identify the pregnancy site, the procedure performed, and any salpingectomy or oophorectomy. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including 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 multiple-procedure reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be allowed; co-surgeon and team-surgery payment are not permitted. Bilateral adjustment is inappropriate for this code.

59151 billing questions
How does 59151 differ from 59150?
59151 is for laparoscopic removal of the ectopic pregnancy, including salpingectomy or oophorectomy when performed. Use 59150 for laparoscopic treatment without removal of the affected tube or ovary.
Can salpingectomy be reported separately with 59151?
Salpingectomy or oophorectomy performed as part of removing the ectopic pregnancy is included in 59151. The operative report should document the procedure and anatomy treated.
What global period applies?
CMS assigns a 90-day global period. It includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can modifier 50 be used for bilateral treatment?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code; the descriptor or anatomy makes modifier 50 unsuitable.
May an assistant surgeon be paid?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be allowed for 59151. CMS does not permit co-surgeon or team-surgery payment for this code.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
Under the standard multiple-procedure rule, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to a 50% reduction when performed in the same session.
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.
