About 57288: Sling operation for stress urinary incontinence
CPT 57288 reports surgical placement of a sling to support the urethra in a patient undergoing treatment for stress urinary incontinence.
A surgeon places a sling beneath the urethra to provide support and reduce urine leakage with coughing, lifting, or other exertion. The sling may use the patient’s tissue or synthetic material. Urogynecologists and urologists commonly perform this operation in an operating room for patients with stress urinary incontinence. CPT 57288 identifies the sling operation; it is not the code for repair of an isolated bladder-wall defect.
Report the procedure when the operative note supports sling placement for stress incontinence, including the approach and material used. The service has a 90-day global period, which includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
