About 56805: Clitoral reconstruction for intersex state
Surgical clitoral reconstruction for an intersex state, reported when the surgeon performs the specific clitoral procedure rather than a separate vaginal or introital repair.
This code describes clitoral reconstruction performed as part of surgical care for an intersex state. A surgeon addresses the clitoris and surrounding anatomy in an operating room, commonly in a hospital setting. The service may be performed by a surgeon specializing in pediatric or adult urology, gynecology, or genital reconstruction. The operative report should identify the relevant anatomy, the condition being treated, and the clitoral work performed.
Report the code when the documented procedure matches clitoroplasty for an intersex state; a separate introital repair or vaginal reconstruction has its own coding considerations. The code has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. When multiple procedures are performed 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-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

56805 billing questions
How is clitoroplasty distinguished from an introital repair?
This code represents clitoral reconstruction for an intersex state. Code an introital repair separately only when that distinct repair is performed and documented.
How does this differ from vaginal reconstruction for an intersex state?
Clitoroplasty addresses the clitoris; vaginal reconstruction addresses the creation or reconstruction of the vagina. If both distinct procedures are performed, document each separately.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
The operative report should describe the intersex-state indication, the anatomy treated, and the clitoral procedure performed. Include enough detail to distinguish it from any separately performed vaginal or introital work.
Can an assistant surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available for this procedure. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
What is included in the global period?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the 90 days after surgery.
