Chapter 14 / Female reproductive organs

The benefit for hysteroscopy includes an amount for D&C and insertion of mirena coil. We will not
reimburse additional charges for this as a separate service. Similarly where a therapeutic hysteroscopy is
performed, we will not reimburse an additional charge for a diagnostic hysteroscopy.


The benefit for hysterectomy for ovarian malignancy includes an amount for removal of omentum and this
should not be listed as extra.


Cystoscopy should not be charged as an additional procedure with suspension/uro-gynaecological
procedures.


We consider insertion of suprapubic catheter to be an intrinsic part of procedures such as a suprapubic
sling or retropubic suspension of bladder neck and will not reimburse these as an additional procedure.


The benefit for colposcopy includes an amount for punch biopsy.


The benefit for therapeutic laparoscopy includes an amount for diagnostic laparoscopy.


The code for insertion of prosthesis into the ureter is designed for use by urologists inserting a stent and
not for the circumstances where the ureter is being identified during hysterectomy. We recognise that this
does involve some additional work and consider that a small uplift would be reasonable.


The code for division of adhesions is no longer in our Schedule. Adhesions are a part of a large number
of gynaecological pathologies and the benefit for treatment includes an amount for division of adhesions.
We do however accept that there are some cases where numerous dense adhesions add considerably to
the complexity of a procedure and in such cases suggest an enhanced fee is submitted together with a
note of explanation.


Postoperative analgesia is part of all surgery. We will not reimburse additional charges by surgeons or
anaesthetists for wound infiltration with local anaesthetic.
