I need clarification on procedure code 59430 - postpartum care. The CPT indicates "postpartum care includes hospital and office visits following vaginal or cesarean section delivery."
1) Does a provider need to see the patient both in the hospital and at the office 6 wk check to bill that code or can the code be used if we only provide the 6 week office visit?
2) If we provide services inpatient and office can the code be used for both dates of service (billed once for each)?
thank you!
