I see a code for procurement of sperm from donor bank-(S4026), but not donor egg. Any suggestions for the best match for this? Im only seeing where the unlisted code (58999) is the closest match. Thanks in advance.

Please supply more information. 58999 implies a procedure not procurement. If the egg is purchased from an egg bank it is a supply, not a procedure, and at present there are no codes for this unless you want to go with an unlisted supply code or make up a dummy code to use internally if this is not covered by insurance.
Thank you for your input. Its a challenge because there is a procurement code for sperm but not egg. This is going to be more and more common as insurance companies start offering this type of coverage. Thanks again.
