CPT Code 58752 Tubouterine Implantation (Fertility Restoration)

CPT 58752 refers to the open surgical procedure of tubouterine implantation, performed to reconnect the distal segment of a fallopian tube directly into the uterus when the proximal (uterine‑side) tubal lumen is absent, damaged, or non‑patent. This reconstructive operation is aimed at restoring tubal patency and fertility potential. Unlike tubotubal anastomosis (CPT 58750), which reconnects divided tubal segments, tubouterine implantation creates a new functional junction between the tube and the uterine cavity.

Definition for CPT Code 58752

CPT 58752 describes an abdominal surgical procedure in which the surgeon:

• Performs an abdominal incision to access the uterus and fallopian tube.
• Prepares the uterine cornual region for implantation.
• Sutures the distal fallopian tube directly into the uterine cavity to reestablish anatomical continuity.
• Confirms tubal patency, often using intraoperative dye or saline testing.
  The procedure restores the pathway for conception after prior tubal interruption or damage.

Scenarios Where CPT Code 58752 is Applicable

You would bill CPT 58752 in the following situations:

• Post-sterilization fertility restoration: A patient with prior tubal ligation who wishes to conceive but has absent or non-patent proximal tubal segments.
• Proximal tubal obstruction: When imaging or intraoperative findings show a non-functional proximal segment and a viable distal tube.
• Infertility due to prior surgical trauma or occlusion: Patients with tubal obstruction caused by previous surgery or infection require surgical reconstruction.

Applicable Modifiers for CPT Code 58752

The following modifiers may be used with CPT 58752 when applicable:

• Modifier 50: For bilateral procedures, when both fallopian tubes are implanted during the same surgery.
• Modifier 22: Increased procedural complexity, justified by extensive adhesions or anatomical challenges.
• Modifier 51: Multiple procedures performed in the same operative session.
• Modifier 52: Reduced services, if the procedure is partially completed or scope is limited due to intraoperative findings.

CPT Code 58752 – Billing & Reimbursement

To ensure proper reimbursement for CPT 58752, follow these steps:

Justify Medical Necessity

Document the clinical indication for tubouterine implantation, such as infertility following prior tubal ligation or proximal tubal obstruction. Include relevant patient history and diagnostic findings.

Use Accurate CPT Coding

Confirm that the procedure involves open tubouterine implantation and not other tubal procedures such as tubotubal anastomosis or fimbrioplasty.

Attach Appropriate Modifiers

Apply modifiers like 50, 22, 51, or 52 only when supported by documentation.

Document Operative Details

Include surgical approach, uterine cornual preparation, distal tube suturing, and tubal patency confirmation.

Pair with Accurate ICD-10 Codes

Include diagnosis codes supporting infertility due to tubal obstruction or prior sterilization.

Submit and Track Claims

Ensure the CPT code, modifiers, and diagnosis codes are correctly entered. Track the claim, respond to payer inquiries, and appeal denials with complete documentation.
