Gynecologic surgery
About 57530: Simple trachelectomy with or without curettage
Reports surgical amputation of the cervix, with or without curettage, when the entire cervix is removed rather than sampled or conized.
A simple trachelectomy removes the cervix while leaving the uterine body in place. A gynecologic surgeon typically performs it in an operating room when the clinical plan calls for removal of the cervix, rather than a limited biopsy or cone excision. Curettage may be performed with the procedure and is included in the service described by this code.
Report 57530 when the operative record supports amputation of the cervix; a cone-shaped specimen or a small diagnostic sample alone supports a different service. Document the indication, the extent of cervical removal, and any curettage performed. This major surgery has a 90-day global period that includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For procedures in the same 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 allowed; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

57530 billing questions
How is 57530 different from a cervical conization code?
57530 represents amputation of the cervix. A conization code is for removal of a cone-shaped portion, not removal of the cervix as a whole.
Is curettage separately reported when performed with 57530?
Curettage is included in the service described by 57530 when performed with the trachelectomy. The code also applies when curettage is not performed.
Should modifier 50 be appended?
No. Bilateral adjustment is inappropriate for this procedure and its anatomy.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be allowed. 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 90 days of related postoperative care.
What if another procedure is performed during the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction.
