My doctors sometimes are asked to standby and then help control hemorrhaging during C-Sections when there is a problem with the placenta growing into the uterus. There is usually a Urologist, Obstetrician, Maternal Fetal Surgeon and Vascular Surgeon working on the patient. It is usually a life and death situation. My Dr. is the Vascular Surgeon, and we are having trouble finding a CPT code for hemorrhage control. He asked if they could bill as a Team. My question is two-fold:
1) Has anyone ever coded for hemorrhage control during a C-Section
2) When billing as a Team, does each surgeon bill the same procedure codes and use the Modifier 66?
I've never billed a Team surgery before and need some guidance here. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
