Encounter for IUD removed and a new one inserted during the same visit - report both the IUD removal (58301) and insertion (58300) separately. Most IUD services will be linked to a diagnosis code from the V25 series, “encounter for contraceptive management.”
The only modifier would be -51 for multiple procedures

Depends on payor. Medicare does not require modifier 51.
