I agree, 57288 should be used for the TVT/stress incontinence. Did an anesthesiologist not administer the anesthesia? If so, I'm not sure the surgeon would charge for it??

jweidman,
I also bill anesthesia and this procedure has an anesthesia alternate code this year. The correct CPT code is 57288, however, effective 1/1/09 this converts to 00860 OR 00940 the latter which is appropriate for the transvaginal approach per the Crosswalk instructions.
