Hysteroscopy with uterine biopsy and/or D&C.
What it covers
Z583 is a hysteroscopy with uterine biopsy and/or D&C (V7).
Hysteroscopy codes: Z582 diagnostic; Z583 with uterine biopsy and/or D&C; Z585 with cannulation of tube(s) or lysis of adhesions; Z587 with resection of polyps or fibroids; Z586 lysis of adhesions needing at least 60 minutes (V7).
Billing rules
- Includes the D&C; don't bill S754 diagnostic curettage as well (V7; V1, rule 1).
- Only one of Z582, Z583, Z585, Z587 or Z586 is payable for the same patient on the same day (V7).
- Hysteroscopy (Z582, Z583, Z587) is not payable with endometrial ablation S772 (V7).
- Marked #: hospital-funded premises, equipment and staff are not included; anaesthesia 6 basic units (V7).
- Z-codes are independent operative procedures (IOP). If the major pre-operative visit was in the previous 12 months, the only assessment payable before the IOP that day is a minor assessment (GP) or partial assessment (specialist); if the major pre-operative visit is the same day, no other assessment before the IOP is payable (SP4, §13).
Common rejections
