Article Guidance

Article Text

Providers are aware that Medicare does not allow payment for contraceptive devices or medication. For this reason the service, 58300, insertion of intrauterine device (IUD) has an "N" status in the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, which means the service cannot be covered when billed to Medicare.

Noridian is aware that insertion of a progestin-containing intrauterine device (IUD) is an alternative method of managing endometrial hyperplasia in patients who are not reasonable surgical candidates or who wish to preserve fertility. Noridian has determined that the use of a progestin containing IUD may be approved for use in the Medicare beneficiary who presents with endometrial hyperplasia without atypia.

Since the CPT code for IUD insertion will be auto-denied, providers should bill this service using CPT 58999 and an appropriate diagnosis for endometrial hyperplasia, including the product description "hormone IUD for endometrial hyperplasia" in Item 19 of the CMS-1500 form or the electronic equivalent.
