If your insurance claim for a transabdominal cerclage placement has been rejected, it may help to ask your insurance provider whether the correct procedure code was used. To correctly describe a TAC placement, one of the following common procedural technology (CPT) codes should be used:
CPT code 58999 (non-specific genital tract procedure): Currently, this code is used because there is no specific CPT code for pre-pregnancy TAC placement.
CPT code 59325 (placement of a TAC during pregnancy): Again, this is extremely rare.
