Good morning!
I work at a local birthing center. All day I run OBGYN claims. No problem. I had a father ask me a question and for some reason all my knowledge flew out the window. Here is goes:
Can labor and delivery charges be put on the father’s insurance?
Just for clarification, we cannot bill Dad for any claims unless Mom is insured under his plan. I let him know we would have to break up the global code and that might not be financially beneficial. I believe he’s assuming it’s the birth of his baby that we can run claims under his insurance.
I informed him that regardless of how he spins it the patient is still the mother. If she’s not insured, then we can bill his insurance for L&D charges.
