CPT Code 58270Complete Billing & Coding Guide (2026)Vag hyst w/enterocele repair
About CPT 58270
CPT 58270 is a Current Procedural Terminology code in the Surgery (Urinary/Reproductive) category maintained by the American Medical Association. The CMS short descriptor reads "Vag hyst w/enterocele repair". For the full AMA long descriptor and clinical guidance, refer to the current CPT code manual.
Major surgical codes carry a 90-day global period that bundles all related post-operative care. Improper billing of post-op E/M (without modifier 24 for unrelated care) is a common audit finding. Documentation of medical necessity for the procedure itself remains the foundation of any successful claim.
CPT 58270 has a 90-day global period. Any E/M visit within that window for the same condition is bundled into the procedure payment. Use modifier 24 for unrelated E/M, modifier 79 for unrelated procedures, and modifier 78 for related returns to the OR.
Code Properties
RVU Breakdown
Every CPT code’s Medicare payment is calculated from three Relative Value Unit components: physician work, practice expense, and malpractice. Together they multiply by the conversion factor to produce the payment amount.
Payment = Total RVU × Conversion Factor ($33.4009) × Geographic Adjustment (GPCI). National averages shown. Actual payment varies by locality.
Medicare Payment by State
Medicare adjusts payment by locality based on GPCI (Geographic Practice Cost Index). Higher cost-of-living areas like California and New York pay more. Rural states pay less. Top 12 states shown.

NCCI Bundling Edits
10 pairsThese codes trigger National Correct Coding Initiative edits when billed with 58270. An indicator of 0 means the pair cannot be unbundled. Indicator 1 means modifier 59 or X-modifiers may allow separate billing with supporting documentation.
58270 + 0071T: hard bundle (indicator 0)
The most-asked bundling question on this code. Verdict pulled from the current NCCI quarterly file.
Modifier indicator 0 means this edit cannot be bypassed. Do not append modifier 59 or X-modifiers. The bundled code must be written off, or, if clinically inappropriate, the entire claim reconsidered.
More extensive procedure
Billing 58270 alongside a bundled code without the correct modifier generates CARC 97 denials. Payers often flag these as audit risks. Document medical necessity for the separate service and apply modifier 59 or the appropriate X-modifier (XE, XS, XP, XU) only when clinically justified.

Mutually exclusive procedures
Multi-procedure NCCI edits hit surgical specialties harder than any other category. CO-97 denials on 58270 are frequently recoverable when the operative note documents distinct anatomic sites or staged steps. Our coders read the op note against the edit pair and pick the right modifier (XS preferred over modifier 59 for distinct structures).
