CPT Code 58672 Laparoscopic Fimbrioplasty: Coding, Billing, and Documentation Guide

CPT 58672 is used to report laparoscopic fimbrioplasty, a minimally invasive procedure performed to reconstruct or repair the fimbriae at the distal end of the fallopian tubes. The goal is to restore tubal patency and improve fertility outcomes, often in patients with fimbrial damage from prior infections, endometriosis, adhesions, or hydrosalpinx.

Accurate CPT selection and supporting documentation are critical for appropriate reimbursement, especially for infertility-related surgical services.

CPT Code 58672 – Description

The official definition of CPT code 58672 is:

“Laparoscopy, surgical; with reconstruction of distal fallopian tube (fimbrial reconstruction, fimbrioplasty).”

Key points:

• Applicable only when true fimbrioplasty is performed.
• Not reported for tubal occlusion, salpingostomy, or diagnostic laparoscopy alone.
• Restores function to damaged fimbrial ends to improve fertility outcomes.

Scenarios Where CPT Code 58672 Is Applicable

You would bill CPT code 58672 in the following situations:

Distal Tubal Obstruction or Damage:

When a patient has distal tubal occlusion or scarring, a laparoscopic fimbrioplasty may be performed to reconstruct fimbrial structures.

Examples:

• A patient with hydrosalpinx undergoes laparoscopic fimbrioplasty to restore distal tubal patency.
• A patient with fimbrial scarring from prior pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) receives fimbrial reconstruction via laparoscopy.
• Post-surgical adhesions causing fimbrial obstruction are corrected laparoscopically.

Applicable Modifiers for CPT Code 58672

Modifier 22 – Increased Procedural Services

Use when the procedure is technically challenging due to extensive adhesions, anatomical variations, or prior surgeries.

Other modifiers are generally not required, as this is a single, defined laparoscopic reconstructive procedure.

CPT Code 58672 – Billing & Reimbursement

To ensure proper reimbursement for CPT code 58672, follow these key steps:

Justify Medical Necessity:

Document infertility diagnosis, tubal obstruction, hydrosalpinx, or other clinical reasons for fimbrioplasty.

Use Accurate ICD-10 Codes:

Examples include:

• N97.9 – Female infertility, unspecified
• N97.0 – Female infertility associated with tubal origin

Confirm Procedural Details:

The operative note should clearly document:

• Laparoscopic approach
• Identification of distal tubal damage
• Steps of fimbrial reconstruction
• Any intraoperative challenges or complications

Detailed Documentation:

Include preoperative findings, rationale for fimbrioplasty, operative steps, and postoperative follow-up to support coding and modifier application if needed.

Reimbursement Considerations:

Accurate coding ensures payers recognize the therapeutic and reconstructive nature of the procedure, distinguishes it from diagnostic or occlusion procedures, prevents claim denials, and supports appropriate reimbursement.
