Gynecologic oncology surgery
About 58240: Complete pelvic exenteration for gynecologic cancer
Reports complete pelvic exenteration for gynecologic malignancy, removing pelvic organs to the extent required for the cancer operation.
This code describes complete pelvic exenteration performed for gynecologic malignancy. The operation removes pelvic viscera involved in the cancer; depending on the surgical plan, it may include the bladder and urinary tract, rectum or colon, and creation of urinary or bowel diversion. Gynecologic oncologists typically perform the operation in a hospital operating room, often with urologic or colorectal surgical participation.
Select this code when the operative report supports a complete exenteration, not a hysterectomy or radical hysterectomy alone. Documentation should identify the malignancy, organs removed, extent of resection, and diversions performed. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

58240 billing questions
How is this distinguished from an extensive or radical hysterectomy?
Use 58240 for complete pelvic exenteration for gynecologic malignancy. A hysterectomy code applies when the operation does not meet that extent of exenteration.
Should the component organ removals be reported separately?
The code represents the complete exenteration operation. Document the organs removed and diversions performed as part of that operation rather than treating the defining resections as separate hysterectomy services.
Can modifier 50 be used when both sides are involved?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
What does the 90-day global period include?
It includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
