2021 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code N99.85 Post endometrial ablation syndrome 2020 - New Code 2021 Billable/Specific Code N99.85 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Extraction of Endometrium, Via Natural or Artificial Opening, Diagnostic. ICD-10-PCS 0UDB7ZX is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure. ICD-10-PCS 0UDB7ZX is intended for females as it is clinically and virtually impossible to be applicable to a male.
The authors concluded that the overall results of the presented studies suggested that endometrial ablation is an effective therapy for menorrhagia in women with bleeding disorders. Endometrial Ablation for Post-Menopause Bleeding
Radiofrequency ablation in which a triangular mesh electrode is expanded to fill the uterine cavity, at which point the electrode delivers an electrical current and destroys the endometrial lining; Cryoablation, in which a probe uses extremely low temperatures to freeze and destroy the endometrial tissues; and
Now look at the NovaSure with endometrial ablation procedure (58563, Hysteroscopy, surgical; with endometrial ablation [e.g., endometrial resection, electrosurgical ablation, thermoablation]). You cannot bill the D&C in addition.
N99. 85 - Post endometrial ablation syndrome. ICD-10-CM.
This procedure is sometimes performed to allow your doctor to examine the lining of the uterus before the ablation to look for polyps, fibroids, scar tissue, or perforations (holes in the uterus). Dilation and curettage (D&C) allows your doctor to take a sample of the tissue that lines your uterus (endometrium).

The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code for diagnostic dilation and curettage (D&C) is 58120.
yes, I would have used both also due to the fact that the hysteroscopy procedures can be coded together since the semi-colon comes right after the Hysteroscopy, surgical; and the doctor stated that the endometrial cavity was resected (58563) and then resected the multiple fibroids (58561).
Endometrial ablation isn't performed with an IUD in place. Thin your endometrium. Some types of endometrial ablation are more successful when the uterine lining is thin. Your doctor might prescribe medications or perform a dilation and curettage (D&C), a procedure in which the doctor scrapes out the extra tissue.
An Endometrial Ablation is the 21st century evolution of the D&C (Dilation and Curettage) D&C is one of the most common surgical procedures performed. It is usually done to stop abnormal heavy uterine bleeding in women in their 40's.
You may take a bath or shower the next day. For a D&C, you may have some light vaginal bleeding for several days. For an endometrial ablation, you can expect light/tan colored vaginal discharge for several weeks after the procedure. You may have some cramping for 2 to 3 days after surgery.
Accordingly, you are generally precluded from coding 58558 with 57505 because the CPT® description of 57505 specifically states "not done as part of dilation and curretage." It may be conceivable but not very likely that an endocervical curretage (separate from a D&C) would be performed at the very same session as a ...
58558 & 58563 are CCI edits: Code 58558 is a column 2 code for 58563, These codes cannot be billed together in any circumstances. Code 58558 is bundled into code 58563 Code 58558 cannot be billed with 58563.
Thanks so much. 58558 and 58300 are billable with no modifier needed. However, 58558 is billed when Hysteroscopy is done with D&C...otherwise, Hysteroscopy alone should be coded as 58555 only, and it would still be billable with the 58300 with no modifier needed.
The early techniques of endometrial ablation, introduced in the 1980s and still used today involve the use of a hysteroscope with either a "rollerball" or wire loop through which electrical heat travels to remove (resection) the endometrial lining.
Common side effects after endometrial ablation include nausea, vomiting, and a vaginal discharge that can last from days to weeks. Complications of ablation are rare, but may include blood loss requiring a transfusion, perforation of the uterus, or unintended damage to other internal organs.
Microwave ablation, in which microwave energy is delivered through a slender probe inserted into the uterus and destroys the endometrial lining. Electrical or electrocautery ablation, in which an electric current travels through a wire loop or rollerball is applied to the endometrial lining to cauterize the tissue;
Microwave ablation, in which microwave energy is delivered through a slender probe inserted into the uterus and destroys the endometrial lining. These investigators evaluated the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of endometrial ablation performed with first- and second-generation techniques.
The goal of endometrial ablation is to reduce menstrual flow. In some women, menstrual flow may stop completely. In some cases, endometrial ablation may be an alternative to hysterectomy. There are several techniques used to perform endometrial ablation, including.
Photodynamic endometrial ablation involves injecting a photosensitive chemical into the uterine cavity through a hysterosalpingography catheter. A probe inserted through the cervix uses a laser to activate the photosensitive chemical, which destroys the endometrium.
Pharmacotherapy and surgery are the mainstay treatments. Most commonly, hormonal and non-hormonal medications are followed by dilatation and curettage, and ultimately, in many cases, hysterectomy. Endometrial ablation techniques have evolved as an alternative to hysterectomy.
