About 59812: Surgical completion of incomplete miscarriage
Reports operative evacuation of retained pregnancy tissue after an incomplete pregnancy loss, rather than treatment of a missed or induced abortion.
This service covers operative evacuation of pregnancy tissue that remains after an incomplete pregnancy loss. An obstetrician-gynecologist typically performs suction aspiration or curettage in a procedural or operating-room setting. The clinical picture may include ongoing bleeding or retained tissue identified during evaluation. This code distinguishes an incomplete loss from a missed abortion, in which the pregnancy has not been expelled.
Report the service when the record supports an incomplete loss and documents the operative evacuation performed. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When other procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. A bilateral adjustment is not used for this uterine procedure. CMS does not pay for an assistant at surgery for this code, and co-surgeon and team-surgery reporting are not permitted.

59812 billing questions
How is this different from treatment of a missed abortion?
Use this code for operative evacuation after an incomplete loss, when pregnancy tissue has been partly expelled or remains. Codes 59820 and 59821 describe surgical treatment of a missed abortion.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
The record should establish an incomplete pregnancy loss and describe the operative evacuation, such as suction aspiration or curettage. Include the clinical findings and the procedure performed.
Are related postoperative visits separately reported?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. The code's global period applies to care related to the operation.
Can modifier 50 be used?
No. CMS does not apply a bilateral adjustment to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate for this uterine procedure.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and applies the standard multiple-procedure reduction to the other procedures. Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid for this code; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
