Our anesthesia group has been asked to meet with obstetrical patients with high BMI's in the their 1st trimester. They will decide if they are too high risk to delivery at our facility. I was asked if we could bill for these visits. If they document in the medical record can I bill for the appropriate E/M code?

Yes, you can bill for those visits as long as the documentation supports the appropriate E/M code. Even if it's later in the pregnancy, they are billable as long as labor/delivery doesn't happen on the same day.
