CPT code 58301 designates the removal of a contraceptive intrauterine device (IUD) from the uterine cavity. This common gynecologic procedure is performed across outpatient clinics, physician offices, and ambulatory surgical centers, and it represents a routine component of contraceptive care. Nationally, the code matters because it captures a high-volume, low-complexity procedural service that intersects preventive care, family planning access, and procedural reimbursement policies.

Key payers in the analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find an overview of clinical context for IUD removal, payer coverage considerations, and typical sites of service. The publication provides benchmarks for utilization and payment patterns, highlights recent policy updates affecting coverage and prior authorization where applicable, and explains billing and coding considerations relevant to clinicians and revenue cycle teams.

The content is intended to help billing managers, clinicians, and policy analysts understand where CPT code 58301 fits within contraceptive service delivery, what payers typically cover, and what operational touchpoints (site of service, documentation expectations) are most relevant. Data not available in the input will be explicitly flagged where applicable in the full publication.
