About 58262: Vaginal hysterectomy with adnexal removal
Reports vaginal removal of a uterus weighing 250 g or less when one or both fallopian tubes and/or ovaries are also removed.
A gynecologic surgeon removes the uterus through the vagina and also removes one or both fallopian tubes and/or ovaries. The code applies when the uterus weighs 250 g or less; it does not describe a hysterectomy with an additional vaginal repair. These procedures are commonly performed in a hospital or ambulatory surgical setting for conditions requiring hysterectomy, with the adnexal removal determined by the patient’s clinical and operative plan.
Select the code based on the documented uterine weight and whether tube(s) and/or ovary(s) were removed. The operative report should support the vaginal route, uterine weight, and adnexal work; pathology documentation can support specimen weight. This major surgery has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures 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 available, co-surgeons are permitted, and team surgery is not permitted.

58262 billing questions
How does this differ from 58260?
Both apply to vaginal hysterectomy when the uterus weighs 250 g or less. This code also includes removal of one or both fallopian tubes and/or ovaries; 58260 does not describe that adnexal removal.
Can this code be reported with 58260 for the same hysterectomy?
Do not report 58260 separately to represent the hysterectomy portion. This code already describes the hysterectomy together with the specified adnexal removal.
When is 58263 a better choice?
Use 58263 when the uterus weighs 250 g or less, adnexal removal is performed, and an enterocele repair is also part of the procedure.
Should modifier 50 be appended when both sides are treated?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
What documentation supports the code selection?
The operative report should establish the vaginal route, uterine weight, and removal of tube(s) and/or ovary(s). Pathology records may support the specimen weight.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
