I am new to OB/GYN, and I have a couple of questions. My doctor sees only high-risk patients, there is no global period for our patients. So, say a patient is flown in from out of town with PROM and doctor decides to do a c-section right away, do I code for the admission with a -57 or just the 59514 and no admission?
Second question: On twin deliveries, what modifier (if any) does anyone else use? The society for maternal-fetal medicine says to use a -22, but that says there needs to be additional documentation, or should you use a -59?
Finally, is pregnancy considered a "problem"?
I would appreciate if there was any insight out there for me!
