I am in need of some assistance. I was asked by one of our OB/GYN providers how to code the following scenerio.
Patient is 26 weeks pregnant and is threatening preterm delivery. Her cervix has started to dilate. The OB and the neonatologist want her hospitalized and on strict bed rest. She ends up staying 4 weeks and delivers the baby at 30 weeks. she is never discharged from the hospital prior to delivery. The OB sees the patient daily while in the hospital. How would you bill for this?
Your input would is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Vicki W.
