Wiki delivery

[vjefcoats]

Good morning!

Has anyone ever had to code for delivery 59409 in the ED?? Our ED delivered baby at 39 wks vaginal delivery and then was transferred to another facility for OB care. No complications etc. Can I bill out 59409?? Do I need to add modifiers??

Thanks for your help!

Yes, we have billed for delivery in our ED. Here's a reference.
