Perineoplasty is considered cosmetic surgery and health insurance plans don't cover it. There is usually a physician's fee, a facility fee and an anesthesia fee. The exact amounts will vary depending on the specifics of your surgery and the type of anesthesia necessary.
Perineoplasty is the same thing as perineorrhaphy. Since this procedure is included with a posterior repair (code 57250) and you are billing for a combined posterior and anterior repair, the perineoplasty would be included in code 57260 as well.
Perineorrhaphy means suturing of the perineum, and is sometimes used synonymously with perineoplasty, which means surgical repair of the perineum.

On December 7, 2011, CMS released a final rule updating payers' medical loss ratio to account for ICD-10 conversion costs. Effective January 3, 2012, the rule allows payers to switch some ICD-10 transition costs from the category of administrative costs to clinical costs, which will help payers cover transition costs.
The ICD-10 transition is a mandate that applies to all parties covered by HIPAA, not just providers who bill Medicare or Medicaid.
On January 16, 2009, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the final rule mandating that everyone covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) implement ICD-10 for medical coding.
Hi everyone! We're excited to announce that we'll be working with medical billing software provider Lightning MD to improve the Lookup and provide helpful information to billers, coders, and healthcare professionals.
The Lightning MD founders are expert billers who created their own billing software out of frustration with the options available - when it comes to software for healthcare, these guys "get it." In our search for a medical billing software firm that could help us take the Code Lookup to the next level, Lightning MD emerged as the perfect partner.
We can't thank the Lightning MD team enough for the help they've provided so far, and we're very excited to take the Lookup to the next level.
Appropriate documentation of CPT code 57425 will include a description of the graft which was placed (brand name and manufacturer if a commercially available graft if used, or a description of the material and methods used to fabricate the graft if the surgeon fabricates his/her own graft at the time of surgery), as well as a description of the dissection and placement of each of the arms of the graft. There should be documentation of the anterior (i.e., vesicovaginal space) dissection, posterior (i.e., rectovaginal space) dissection, as well as how the graft was affixed to the anterior and posterior vaginal walls. Documentation should also include description of the presacral space dissection, as well as the means of fixation of the tail of the graft to the anterior longitudinal ligament of the sacrum.
CPT code 57425 should not be used to report routine reattachment of the uterosacral ligaments to the vaginal cuff after completion of hysterectomy. This is considered a routine component of the hysterectomy procedure and cannot be separately coded.
