What 58400 covers
A gynecologic surgeon performs uterine suspension to elevate and secure the uterus while preserving it. The operation may be considered for uterine displacement or loss of support; the operative report should identify the suspension performed and the anatomy addressed. This is an operating-room procedure, typically documented by the surgeon who performs the repair.
Report 58400 when the documented service matches this uterine-suspension procedure; use the operative details to distinguish it from suspension that includes shortening of the round ligaments. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For other procedures performed in the same session, Medicare pays the highest-valued procedure in full and reduces the others to 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can another procedure be reported in the same session?
A separately reportable procedure may be subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction: the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
