I'm sure this has been asked in the past, but I would like to get a feel for what others are doing in this coding situation.
If a patient was seen for minimal OB antepartum care, lets say less than 4 visits, should the global OB delivery code, such as 59400 be billed with a 52 modifier? Or should the antepartum visits be billed out seperately as E/M's and the delivery only with postpartum care be billed (59410)?
Again, I just want a feel for how others handle this type of coding situtation and if you have any resources they would be much appreciated.
Thank you!!
