CPT code 56620 denotes a simple vulvectomy — surgical removal of all or part of the vulva for benign or premalignant conditions when lesions are extensive or numerous and not amenable to local excision. The code is important for coding and reimbursement of gynecologic surgical services that address non-malignant vulvar disease and for capturing care intensity and site-of-service planning. Nationally, accurate use of this CPT code affects surgical utilization reporting, payment parity between ASCs and hospital settings, and quality measurement for vulvar procedures.
