New CPT Codes to Support Custom Pessary Design

Live Poll

Should insurance prioritize covering personalized medical devices over standard, off-the-shelf treatment options?

The American Medical Association has revised CPT Category III codes to formally recognize the clinical work of designing 3D-printed, patient-specific gynecological devices. These updates will allow clinicians to report the design process for personalized pessaries beginning January 1, 2027.

Why it matters

Nearly half of all women will experience a pelvic floor disorder, yet traditional off-the-shelf devices often fail to provide a comfortable fit for many patients. These code revisions are intended to address these challenges by supporting the clinical workflow for personalized anatomical models.

The AMA updated CPT codes 0559T and 0560T to cover the creation of 3D-printed anatomic models derived from a patient's own image data. These updates address the segment of patients who struggle with standard-sized devices.

The players

American Medical Association

This professional organization maintains the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code set used by healthcare providers to report medical services.

Cosm Medical Corp.

Based in Toronto, this company specializes in using AI and 3D printing to create personalized gynecological devices.

American College of Radiology

This professional medical society serves over 40,000 diagnostic and interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, and nuclear medicine physicians.

PRIA Healthcare

This organization assists medical companies in navigating market access and reimbursement strategies for new healthcare technologies.

The details

The American College of Radiology and Cosm Medical Corp. co-led the application for these code changes, with support from PRIA Healthcare. The new language specifically recognizes the labor involved in developing structures from a patient's own unique anatomy.

Clinicians will be able to report personalized pessary design work starting January 1, 2027.

Health Landscape

This development aligns with the evolving American Medical Association CPT Category III code framework, which facilitates the tracking of emerging medical procedures. It marks a shift toward integrating personalized, 3D-printed anatomical tools into standard clinical reimbursement pathways.

Patients who have historically struggled with the fit of standard pessaries may find better treatment options as these custom devices become more integrated into clinical practice. The standardized reporting could lead to improved provider adoption and potentially better access to personalized pelvic health solutions.

The takeaway

Advancements in 3D-printed medical devices are beginning to address the high rates of pessary discontinuation caused by poor fit. Patients struggling with current treatment options should consult with their providers about the availability of custom-fitted devices in the coming years.
