Article Guidance

Article Text

Treatment of endometrial hyperplasia with the insertion of a hormone-containing intrauterine device (IUD) is an accepted method to manage endometrial hyperplasia for patients with abnormal uterine bleeding and who are unable to tolerate oral megestrol or are at high risk for complications of oral megestrol.

Effective for dates of service on and after 02/01/12, Palmetto GBA will reimburse IUD insertion services for patients who meet these criteria.
Since IUD insertion services auto-deny, submit the following claim information:

  • CPT® code 58999
  • ICD-10 codes N84.0 or N85.00-N85.02
  • Enter “hormone IUD” in the comment/narrative field of the CMS-1500 claim form or the equivalent electronic claim field
