Hello,
Patient delivered newborn at 38 weeks but developed postpartum hemorrhage. My provider is trying to bill the suction and D&C for postpartum hemorrhage as 59812.
However, I believe 59160 would be more applicable. However, the description of 59160 states its when the physician scrapes the endometrial lining of the uterus following childbirth, but my provider did a suction curettage.
Can you help?
