CPT code 58120 denotes dilation of the cervix with scraping of the uterine lining (dilation and curettage) to control excessive uterine bleeding or to obtain a large endometrial tissue sample. This common gynecologic procedure has implications for acute bleeding management, diagnostic tissue sampling, and surgical workflow in outpatient and ambulatory surgical settings. Nationally, understanding coding, sites of service, and payer coverage is important for hospitals, surgical centers, and clinician practices that provide gynecologic care.

Key payers included in the coverage discussion are Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. The publication summarizes how CPT code 58120 is used clinically and in billing, highlights typical sites of service, and identifies common modifiers and administrative considerations.

The content is intended to inform revenue cycle leaders, clinical managers, and policy analysts about the coding and operational aspects of performing and billing for dilation and curettage procedures at a national level.
