Tuboplasty or vasoplasty after previous sterilization

This code signifies a surgical procedure undertaken to reverse a prior sterilization, specifically involving the fallopian tubes in females (tuboplasty) or the vas deferens in males (vasoplasty). The intent of these procedures is to restore fertility after a previous elective sterilization.

This code is appropriate for documenting the diagnosis when a patient presents for a surgical reversal of a prior tubal ligation or vasectomy. It applies to cases where the patient desires to regain reproductive capability following a previous sterilization procedure.

• This code is for the diagnosis of a patient presenting for reversal, not the procedure itself.
• Pair this diagnosis code with the appropriate CPT code(s) for the tuboplasty or vasoplasty procedure.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the intent is reversal of a previous sterilization.
