I need some guidance regarding billing the OB global package within a group practice. We have 4 MD's and 4 CNM's and they all rotate the patients during the antepartum care so the patient can meet all of the providers prior to her delivery. If a mid-wife performs the actual vaginal delivery with no MD on site, can the global OB package be billed under one of the physician's, as opposed to the mid-wife?
I understand some carriers may have their own policy on this, but I'm looking for guidance as a coder and for compliance. One of the physician's feels that all deliveries should be billed under one of the MD's and not the Mid-wife.
Thank you
