Author and Disclosure Information
American Urogynecologic Society–led coalition of specialty societies results in modification of the recent National Correct Coding Initiative edits
While these codes will be considered bundled on that date, NCCI will allow the use of the -59 modifier to override the bundle in clinically appropriate cases. The other code pairs affected are the 2 vaginal hysterectomy codes with colpourethropexy (58267, 58293) with anterior repair (57240). Again, these code pairs will be bundled, and it will require the use of a modifier to override this bundle.
