Hello,
Looking for assistance in coding suction D&C for retained placenta and then return to OR about two hours later for continued bleeding. On return to OR suction D&C done again and Bakri Balloon placement was then done. (This patient delivered vaginally 3/18, had to go to operating room due to post partum hemorrhage, I billed 59160, D&C after delivery.) She continued to have bleeding, 3/25 she had above mentioned procedures. (PP endometritis)
Am I able to bill suction D&C twice on 3/25? Not sure correct CPT as he did do suction and 59160 is no suction. Also with Modifier 78? Would the balloon placement be unlisted code 59899, comparable to maybe IUD insertion 58300?
Thank you for your advice.
