Gynecology
About 57410: Pelvic examination under anesthesia
Reports a complete pelvic assessment performed under anesthesia when pain, intolerance, or another barrier prevents an adequate examination while the patient is awake.
A gynecologist performs a systematic pelvic assessment while the patient is anesthetized, evaluating structures such as the vagina, cervix, uterus, and adnexa by inspection and palpation. This may be needed when severe pain, vaginismus, inability to cooperate, or another documented barrier prevents a clinically adequate examination in the office. The service is generally performed in an operating room or procedure setting, sometimes alongside another gynecologic procedure.
Report 57410 when the anesthetized examination is a distinct, medically necessary service, not merely the routine assessment integral to a more extensive procedure. Document why an awake examination was inadequate and the examination performed and findings. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Bilateral adjustment is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

57410 billing questions
When is 57410 appropriate instead of an office pelvic examination?
Use it when anesthesia is needed to complete a medically necessary pelvic assessment because an awake examination cannot be adequately performed, such as with severe pain or inability to tolerate the examination. Document the specific barrier.
Can 57410 be reported with another gynecologic procedure performed during the same session?
A preliminary examination that is integral to the more extensive procedure is not a distinct service. Report 57410 when the anesthetized examination is separately necessary and documented, rather than simply part of the operative assessment.
Should modifier 50 be appended?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
What does the 0-day global period include?
Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. CMS assigns a 0-day global period to 57410.
How does the multiple procedure rule affect 57410?
When it is performed in the same session as other procedures, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the other procedures are paid at 50%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be paid for 57410?
Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this code.
