Wiki diagnostic laparoscopy with intrauterine device removal

[metzger130]

Does anyone know of a procedure code for diagnostic lap with intrauterine device removal. I've looked for laparoscopic iud removal with no luck. The only code I see is 58301, but that does not appear to be a laparoscopic code
Thank you!

We use an unlisted code for laparoscopic IUD removal.

Is it done laparoscopically or via hysteroscopy?

If it was done hysteroscopically, I would use 58579

For laparoscopic IUD removal, unlisted is the way to go. 49329 or 58578 (both unlisted) would seem appropriate.

I would never hesitate to take Melanie Witt's advice about ob/gyn coding.

58562 would be if hysteroscopic. https://www.acog.org/education-and-events/emodules/larc-billing-quiz-series/intrauterine-device Scenario 6
