Wiki Hysteroscopic removal of IUD

[catharine]

In office doc did a Hysteroscopic removal of IUD. His notes do not help except stating he did the removal. For this procedure done in office with only a topical block done would you use 99214 or 58301? Im leaning towards just billing the office visit.

I would use the IUD removal procedure code 58301, even though done via hysteroscopy it is still the closest thing to what provider did.
