We have a patient that was over 40 weeks & requested to be induced. Patient was scheduled at hospital where our physician was present entire time. Patient was given cytomel & pitosin. She made no cervical changes so the patient was sent home. My question is what can my physician bill for? Is this considered part of the global OB care?

Thank you for any information - I am struggling with finding answers!

you don't say if your physician saw the patient or not. If so, they should dictate the visit and you should be able to bill an outpatient or inpatient hospital visit. Anytime physicians see an OB patient in the hospital it is considered outside the global and billable.
