Wiki Can this be billed as delivery

[doctor1979]

I need some help. I had a patient , where the patient was diagnosed with KLIENFELTER syndrome by amniocentesis. She was given KCL injection at 23.4 weeks of gestation and induction of labor (IOL) was done. My Q is can this be billed delivery or termination of pregnancy CPT 59855.

Thank you

per ACOG chart

I use the ACOG chart often to determine what I can bill for pregnancy terminations.

Looks like you would bill the delivery code since patient is over 20 weeks.
