Look at 59425 and 59426

Antepartum is the period of time prior to delivery. Ante = before, postpartum is the period of time after delivery. Post = after
I take it your doc then did not perform the delivery.

If the patient only had 3 antepartum visits, bill E/M codes for each. 4-6 visits, bill 59425. 7 or more bill 59426. You would not bill 59425 and 59426 together. Just one or the other. I also put a note on the claim that I am billing the antepartum because the patient left the practice, no longer pregnant, etc.
