Hysterectomies and Your MD's Documentation

CPT has no fewer than 37 codes to report a hysterectomy. The wrong code can mean a substantial loss of reimbursement.

Simply reading the operative summary is not enough. Since every type of hysterectomy has certain requirements, billing can only take place when the documentation supports it. Before billing, you must identify the surgical approach, know the weight of the uterus and adnexal structures, and recognize other related procedures.
