We have an OB patient that has an incompetent cervix.
Baby B was fetal demise at 14.6 wks and physician delivered Baby B.
Six days later, Baby A deceased/fetal demise at 15.5 wks and patient had another vaginal delivery.
After reading a posts, ACOG states the baby under 20-22 weeks isn't fetal demise. Is that correct? If babies are considered SAB, would I bill this as 59812, 2 separate times?
Thank you soooo much! Becky
