CPT 58145: Vaginal Myomectomy for Excision of 1–4 Uterine Fibroids

CPT code 58145 represents a vaginal myomectomy for excision of 1 to 4 intramural uterine fibroids weighing 250 grams or less. Nationally, this procedure is a specific surgical option for patients with symptomatic fibroids when a vaginal route is appropriate, and it influences hospital and ambulatory surgery utilization, coding specificity, and payment determinations. Coverage and payment practices for this code affect surgical site selection, resource use, and billing accuracy across payers.

Key payers in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find an overview of clinical context for the procedure, expected sites of service, and benchmarking of how payers commonly address surgical myomectomy coding and coverage. The publication also summarizes common modifiers used with the code, discusses typical payer policy themes relevant to fibroid surgery, and highlights points of attention for accurate claim submission. Data not available in the input is noted where applicable.

Clinical & Coding Specifications

Clinical Context

A 38-year-old woman presents with symptomatic uterine fibroids causing heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pressure. Conservative management with hormonal therapy and iron supplementation failed to control symptoms. Preoperative evaluation includes pelvic imaging (transvaginal ultrasound or MRI) confirming 1–4 intramural/submucosal fibroids within the uterine corpus with combined specimen weight estimated ≤250 g, laboratory testing (CBC, type and screen), and anesthesia assessment. The patient is scheduled for a vaginal myomectomy with regional or general anesthesia. In the operating room, the gynecologic surgeon places the patient in lithotomy position, achieves adequate exposure, and performs an incision through the vaginal cuff and uterine corpus as needed to excise 1–4 fibroid tumors located within the body of the uterus. Hemostasis is achieved, uterine defects are repaired, and specimens are submitted for pathologic analysis. Typical postoperative workflow includes PACU recovery, pain control, monitoring for bleeding or infection, discharge with activity restrictions and follow-up for pathology review and wound check. The procedure is typically performed in an outpatient surgery center or hospital operating room with gynecology/urogynecology staffing and perioperative nursing support.

Modifier	Description	When to Use
`22`	Increased procedural services	Use when work, time, or complexity substantially exceeds typical expectations for a vaginal myomectomy.
`52`	Reduced services	Use when the procedure is partially reduced or not completed as originally planned.
`53`	Discontinued procedure	Use when the procedure is started but terminated due to extenuating circumstances.
`59`	Distinct procedural service	Use when a separate, unrelated procedure is performed on the same day that is not normally bundled.

`76`	Repeat procedure by same physician	Data not provided in input.
`77`	Repeat procedure by another physician	Data not provided in input.
`78`	Unplanned return to OR for related procedure during postoperative period	Use when a return to the OR is required for a related complication after the index vaginal myomectomy.
`79`	Unrelated procedure or service by the same physician during postoperative period	Use if an unrelated operative procedure is performed during the global period.
