A new gynecologic cervical block fee has been created to better enable the use of local anesthetic/cervical blocks for IUD insertions. The cervical block fee can also be billed for complex IUD removals (e.g. stringless IUDs), endometrial biopsies, cervical biopsies, and cervical polypectomies as is clinically required.
14563 Gynecologic Cervical Block – extra – $25.00

The fee for IUD insertion has been increased significantly, in recognition of the business costs and time required to provide trauma-informed IUD insertions.
14540 Insertion of intrauterine contraceptive device (operation only) – $55.22 ($46.79)

The fee value of the FP vasectomy bonus has also been substantially increased as well as the number of bonuses payable per year.
13655 FP Vasectomy bonus associated with bilateral vasectomy – extra – $45.00 ($23.56)
