Can a modifier 80 be used for a vaginal delivery when one doctor delivers the baby and another doctor steps in to do the rest, delivery of placenta, cutting the cord, maternal aftercare, etc?
for example, mom came into the hospital already pushing and the OB doctor wasn't able to get there in time. The ER doc had to deliver the baby as he is the only doctor available, and the OB doc walks in the room as the baby is being put up on mom's chest and the OB then takes over care. (This happened at our local hospital just last weekend)
