CPT code 58520 denotes surgical repair of a ruptured or lacerated uterus unrelated to childbirth, covering tears from procedures such as dilation and curettage or hysteroscopy, or from trauma. Nationally, this code captures episodic operative care in gynecology and is used across inpatient and ambulatory surgical settings where urgent or planned uterine repair is required. It matters because accurate coding affects clinical documentation, surgical quality tracking, and appropriate payment for gynecologic operative services.

Key payers examined include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find clinical context for when CPT code 58520 is applicable, typical sites of service, and an outline of common modifiers associated with surgical circumstances. The publication highlights benchmarks and coding practice considerations relevant to hospital and ambulatory surgery workflows, and summarizes policy updates that affect national billing and reimbursement for operative gynecologic procedures. The content is intended for billing professionals, clinical coders, compliance officers, and surgical teams seeking clarity on code use, service setting implications, and payer coverage patterns.
