Wiki Hospital re-admission for obstetric hematoma of pelvis

[kelhop1@msn.com]

I have a patient that has been re-admitted to the hospital for obstetric hematoma of the pelvis 15 days after c-section and given IV medications for two days before discharge. Can I bill the admission 9922-and subsequent days 9923- with modifier 24 or would this be considered global. Thank you

No not included. This is definitely an unforeseen complication that is being treated medically and should be billed separately per CPT rules.

Thank you so much! That is what I was thinking, but then started second guessing myself.
