What 58294 covers
A gynecologic surgeon removes the uterus through the vagina and repairs an enterocele, a protrusion of peritoneal contents into the upper vaginal area. This combination may be performed for uterine enlargement with pelvic organ prolapse. The operative report should identify the vaginal route, uterine weight, and the enterocele repair performed; document any additional procedures separately according to their operative work.
Select this code when the documented uterine weight is greater than 250 grams and the operation includes the enterocele repair. The repair is part of the combined service described by the code. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
