Wiki initial prenatal visit

[newfiegirl]

what is the appropriate cpt code to use when a pt comes in for her initial prenatal exam.

In general you don't. It included in the global package You would bill the global code at birth. There are some exceptions like changing insurance during the pregnancy, or changing providers but you cant decide how to bill that until the situation comes up. Id suggest reading the Maternity Care and Delivery guidelines in the CPT book.
