Gynecologic surgery
About 58541: Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy, small uterus
Reports laparoscopic removal of the uterine body while retaining the cervix when the uterus weighs 250 g or less.
A gynecologic surgeon removes the uterine body through a laparoscopic approach and leaves the cervix in place. This operation may be performed for benign uterine conditions such as fibroids or abnormal bleeding when hysterectomy is chosen. It is commonly performed in a hospital operating room or ambulatory surgery setting. The uterus weight distinguishes this code from the higher-weight code in the same procedure family.
Report the code for the laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy when the uterus weighs 250 g or less and tubes or ovaries are not removed as part of the coded service. Document the laparoscopic approach, that the cervix was retained, the extent of the operation, and uterine weight. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. Bilateral adjustment is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery and co-surgeon payment are permitted; team surgery is not. When related endoscopies are performed together, CMS endoscopy-family pricing applies.
