Gynecologic oncology surgery
About 58952: Ovarian malignancy resection with radical debulking
Reports extensive surgery for ovarian, tubal, or primary peritoneal cancer that includes hysterectomy, bilateral adnexal removal, omentectomy, and radical tumor debulking.
This operation treats ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal malignancy by removing the uterus, both tubes and ovaries, and the omentum, along with visible tumor. The surgeon may dissect tumor from involved pelvic or abdominal structures to achieve cytoreduction. Gynecologic oncologists typically perform it in a hospital operating room, often as part of definitive cancer surgery.
Report the code when the documented procedure includes the hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, and radical dissection for debulking represented by this service. The operative report should identify the structures removed and the tumor-dissection work performed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. In a session with multiple procedures, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard reduction. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

58952 billing questions
How is 58952 distinguished from 58950?
Choose based on the actual operative scope. Code 58952 represents the hysterectomy and radical debulking components in addition to bilateral adnexal removal and omentectomy; 58950 is the related option without hysterectomy.
Should modifier 50 be appended for bilateral removal?
No. CMS prices 58952 as a bilateral service, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.
Can an assistant-at-surgery or co-surgeon be reported?
CMS permits payment for an assistant at surgery. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
What postoperative care is included in the global period?
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 performed in the same session paid?
CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and applies the standard multiple procedure reduction to other procedures performed in that session.
