I need some help with a coding issue. I have a patient that had all of her prenatal care with us, then had to deliver at a high risk hospital with another doctor who was not with our practice. I did not bill globally but did bill for her antepartum care (59426) which was denied for timely filing. The claim was filed immediately after her delivery and the date of service I submitted was the date of her first prenatal visit. Am I correct in using this date? I believe this is why it has become a timely filing issue.
 
A single claim submission of 59426 for antepartum care only requires the dates be reported as a range of time. For example, if the patient had a total of 7 antepartum care visits, then the physician should report CPT 59426 with the ?from? and ?to? dates for which the span of services occurred.
