What 58263 covers
This service covers removal of the uterus through the vagina when it weighs 250 g or less, removal of one or both fallopian tubes and/or ovaries, and repair of an enterocele. Gynecologic surgeons commonly perform it for patients undergoing vaginal surgery for uterine and pelvic support conditions. The operative report should establish the vaginal route and document the adnexal removal and enterocele repair; the specimen weight supports selection of the 250-g-or-less family.
Report this combination code when all of its included work is performed. Do not separately report the adnexal removal or enterocele repair as though they were separate services. Medicare’s 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. If multiple procedures are performed in the same session, Medicare pays the highest-valued procedure in full and reduces the others to 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery and co-surgeon payment may be allowed; team surgery is not permitted.

58263 billing questions
When should this code be selected instead of 58262?
Use 58263 when the vaginal hysterectomy is for a uterus weighing 250 g or less, adnexal tissue is removed, and an enterocele is repaired. Code 58262 does not include the enterocele repair.
Is the enterocele repair separately reported?
The repair is included in this combination service. The operative report should document that an enterocele was repaired.
Does this code include removal of both ovaries and tubes?
It includes removal of tube(s) and/or ovary(s), so removal may involve one or both adnexa. Document which structures were removed.
Should modifier 50 be appended for bilateral adnexal removal?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
