Gynecologic surgery
About 58545: Laparoscopic uterine fibroid removal
Reports laparoscopic removal of a limited fibroid burden when the surgeon preserves the uterus and excises qualifying intramural or surface myomas.
A gynecologic surgeon removes uterine fibroids through laparoscopic ports while preserving the uterus. This code fits removal of one to four intramural fibroids with a combined weight of 250 g or less, and/or removal of surface fibroids. It is typically performed in a hospital outpatient or ambulatory surgery setting for patients seeking fibroid treatment without hysterectomy. The operative report should identify the laparoscopic approach, the fibroids removed, their location and number, and the total weight when relevant.
Report the service once for the operative session, not once per fibroid. When more than four intramural fibroids are removed or their combined weight exceeds 250 g, consider 58546 instead. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care through day 90. 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% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare may pay for an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeons are permitted; team surgery is not permitted.

58545 billing questions
When should 58546 be used instead?
Use 58546 when the procedure removes more than four intramural fibroids or the combined weight of the intramural fibroids exceeds 250 g. Document the count and weight to support the code selection.
Is 58545 reported once or per fibroid?
Report one service for the operative session, rather than separate units for each fibroid removed. The operative report should describe the number and location of the fibroids and their total weight when relevant.
How does 58545 differ from hysteroscopic fibroid removal?
58545 describes laparoscopic removal through abdominal ports. Hysteroscopic removal, such as 58561, treats fibroids approached through the cervix and uterine cavity.
Can modifier 50 be appended?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
What related care is included in the global period?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care through day 90.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
CMS indicates that an assistant at surgery may be paid and that co-surgeons are permitted. Team surgery is not permitted for this code.
