Gynecologic surgery
About 59140: Surgical treatment of cervical ectopic pregnancy
Surgical treatment of a cervical ectopic pregnancy is reported when the pregnancy implants in the cervix and requires operative management.
This code describes operative treatment of an ectopic pregnancy implanted in the cervix. A gynecologic surgeon typically performs the procedure in an operating room, where the operative findings and treatment can be documented. The code is specific to the cervical implantation site; a tubal, ovarian, abdominal, or interstitial pregnancy calls for a different code selection.
Report it when the operative record supports cervical implantation and surgical treatment, rather than medical management alone. Document the pregnancy location, operative approach, and work performed. This major surgery includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. 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. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
