CPT code 58700 denotes an open abdominal procedure to remove all or part of one or both fallopian tubes. Nationally, this code captures inpatient and outpatient surgical management for conditions that require salpingectomy or partial salpingectomy via an abdominal incision. It is clinically relevant for gynecologic surgeons and hospitals because it represents a common definitive procedure for ectopic pregnancy, benign adnexal disease, sterilization when performed via laparotomy, and cases where laparoscopy is not feasible.

Key payers covered in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find benchmarks for utilization and reimbursement patterns across major payers, an outline of clinical contexts in which the code is used, and notes on site-of-service considerations. The content summarizes common billing practices and highlights areas where coding clarity matters for claims processing — for example, distinguishing open abdominal approaches from laparoscopic or vaginal procedures. Data not available in the input is noted where applicable, and the publication does not provide clinical recommendations. The focus is on coding definition, payer coverage scope, and the operational settings where CPT code 58700 is typically billed.
