Hi. I had asked this question once before but got vaginal delivery codes and I'm not sure that's right.
My doc did a cesarean delivery after a failed vaginal delivery. Patient is new and has no history having any care with this doctor. Also, this is her first baby. Someone said to use 59400 codes- which to me, was a failure. Then I was told to use 59620- but that to me, means after she has a had a previous c-section delivery of another child- which I have no history of.
So, in this case, do I just code 59514 for the successful C-section?
Thank you!!!
