I honeslty dont have alot of experiance with OB coding so Please forgive me if this sounds dumb but I just took over for a OB/Family practice clinic that had thier coder just quit. I have some questions for anyone who can help;
If you can answer any of these questions please reply.
Is there a seperate charge for an Induction? if so what is the code?
How do you bill the First Prenatial? They have been billing it as a PE as that is what they are doing but is that correct? or is it just included in the global code?
What are the Vaginal Repair codes? I have found several but the Dr codes by Degrees and im not sure how that translates or if it is a seperate set of codes alltogether.
What is the code for a first assist c-section?
How do I code for a situation that the patient was seen for the prenatial care but the Dr didtn't do the Delivery but she did do the post-pardom care as well. I can see the codes for the Antipardum and the post-pardum only but no combo code and that is only in the vaginal section what if the patient had a c-section. is there a modifier for that?
How do you code for a High risk Delivery? is there another code that needs to be added?
Thank you for your help,
