About 58800: Vaginal approach ovarian cyst drainage
Reports drainage of one or more ovarian cysts through a vaginal approach, performed by a gynecologist when cyst drainage rather than excision is undertaken.
A gynecologist reports this service when one or more ovarian cysts are drained through a vaginal approach. The operative work is directed at the cyst or cysts and their fluid contents, rather than removing the cyst wall as a cystectomy. The code includes unilateral or bilateral drainage, so the approach and the procedure performed should be clear in the operative report.
Document the ovarian cyst diagnosis, vaginal route, side or sides treated, and drainage performed. This major-surgery code has a 90-day global period: the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included. 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. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
