    Wiki B-Lynch procedure during CS

    Hi! I've never even heard of a B Lynch suture until today ... and I'm stumped. If anyone can help, I'd be so appreciative. I found a thread (short one) that states to bill with a 22 modifier, but not sure the following really qualifies: "There was still poor uterine tone despite the...

    Wiki Can the Bakri balloon, 59899, be billed with bleeding after a c-section if the D & C is not performed?

    We have a patient that had a c-section, and after completion of the surgery a large amount of blood was discovered. Large clots were evacuated but no mention of scraping performed. Then the Bakri was placed. My surgeon was the assistant for the c-section, but the operative note indicates she is...

    Wiki C-section wound reopened

    We have had a couple of situations where c-season wounds reopened during the postpartum period. When that happens, what code(s) should be used when our providers re-approximate the edges?

    Wiki Proctoring surgeon

    I'm looking for some guidance on billing for a proctoring surgeon. I code for a family practice clinic where some of my physicians perform cesareans at the neighboring hospital. We obviously only bill for the professional charges of those physicians. I recently encountered an operative note...

    Wiki ICD-10 O34.21 Maternal care for previous c-section delivery

    I have a question about the use of icd-10 code O34.21. Our providers are using this diagnosis due to our EMR computer system being set up with synonyms linked to icd-10 codes.

    Wiki o34.21

    Can we use this code for either prenatal test or genetic carrier screening? It just doesn't make sense why uterine scar from previous cesarean delivery would matter to the tests. Thank you, April

    Wiki Ob Post-op/global Days

    Question on OB patient post-op visits. How many visits do you give to an OB patient after they have had the baby? There is no global days on deliveries. My ACOG book states that the normal is 1 free visit for a vaginal delivery and 2 free visits for a cesarean section. We have adopted a policy...
