Gynecologic surgery
About 58260: Vaginal hysterectomy, uterus 250 grams or less
Reports removal of the uterus through the vagina when the specimen weighs 250 grams or less and the selected code’s additional procedures are not performed.
A gynecologic surgeon removes the uterus, including the cervix, through the vaginal route. This code describes the procedure when the uterus weighs 250 grams or less; it is commonly performed for benign conditions such as symptomatic fibroids or abnormal uterine bleeding when vaginal access is appropriate. The surgery is typically performed in a hospital or ambulatory surgery center.
Select the code using the operative approach, specimen weight, and any additional procedures documented. The operative report should identify the vaginal route and support the specimen weight; pathology documentation may help establish the weight. The service has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted. Modifier 50 is not appropriate for removal of a single uterus.

58260 billing questions
How is this code distinguished from the larger-uterus vaginal hysterectomy code?
Use this code when the uterus weighs 250 grams or less. The larger-uterus sibling is selected when the specimen exceeds that threshold.
Which vaginal hysterectomy code includes removal of tubes or ovaries?
Code 58262 describes the related procedure when removal of one or both tubes or ovaries is also performed. Use the operative report to identify the adnexal work.
Can a separately performed repair be reported with this hysterectomy?
This code describes the hysterectomy without the additional repair identified in repair-specific vaginal hysterectomy codes. Report other procedures only when the operative documentation supports distinct work and the applicable coding rules allow separate reporting.
Should modifier 50 be appended?
No. Removal of a single uterus is not a bilateral service for modifier 50 reporting.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the 90 days after surgery.
How are other procedures paid when performed in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction.
