Ob-Gyn Coding Alert

Correction:

Use 621.0 with 58558

Published on Fri Dec 01, 2000

Page 76 (Optimize Payment by Knowing When to Use Modifier -59 vs. -51) of the October 2000 Ob-Gyn Coding Alert incorrectly stated that hysterectomy code 58558 could be linked to a diagnosis of 620.8 (other noninflammatory disorders of ovary, fallopian tube, and broad ligament). The correct diagnosis in this case is 621.0 (polyp of curpus uteri). We apologize for any confusion related to this matter.
