Wondering how others are billing/getting paid for CNM assists on c-sections - I have some payers who pay no problem and others who won't pay at all. Would like some input from anyone else who bills for these services. Thanks!
This does depend on the insurance, because some of them do not consider CNMs to be independent providers. You should be able to find this in their contracts, and we don't accept insurance who doesn't support CNM services. For the insurances that do cover CNM services, it is appropriate to bill 59514 with modifier 80 under the CNMs information. Hope that helps.
