What 58565 covers
A gynecologist passes a hysteroscope through the cervix to view the uterine cavity and place occlusive implants at both tubal openings, creating a transcervical method of permanent contraception. The procedure is typically performed in an operating or ambulatory surgery setting. It is distinct from tubal occlusion performed through abdominal incisions or laparoscopy because access is through the uterus and cervix.
Report 58565 when the documented service includes hysteroscopic implant placement for both tubes. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When related endoscopies are performed together, CMS endoscopy-family pricing applies. CMS permits co-surgeons; team surgery is not permitted, and an assistant at surgery is not paid under the statutory restriction.

58565 billing questions
When should 58565 be chosen over laparoscopic sterilization?
Use 58565 for transcervical hysteroscopic placement of occlusive implants in both tubes. Laparoscopic tubal occlusion or fulguration is reported with a different code based on the method.
Should modifier 50 be appended?
The code is already priced as bilateral. Modifier 50 does not increase payment.
How does CMS price another endoscopy performed in the same session?
CMS endoscopy-family pricing applies when related endoscopies are performed together. Separate reporting depends on the distinct service and applicable coding edits.
What postoperative care is included in the global period?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
CMS permits co-surgeons for this code, but team surgery is not permitted. An assistant at surgery is not paid under the statutory restriction.
