Wiki Separate Billing for Maternity Complications

[bradshaw]

Is there any set criteria for when I can bill an office visit outside of the global billing for things such as spotting? Does there need to be a certain level of care involved or are all visits billable if they are not a planned prenatal care visit?

Hi, what insurance does the patient have? Some insurance companies want us to wait until after the patient has delivered to bill any additional visits others will allow us to bill during the antepartum period. I usually bill at the time of service, as long as it isn't documented as a routine OB visit.
