Wiki coding delivery in hospital parking lot

[sondra hayden]

We had a patient that delivered the baby in the hospital parking lot and then was transported into the hospital to deliver the placenta and have a laceration repair. Should we code for the delivery with a -52 modifier?
Thanks for your assistance.

You cannot bill for the delivery. Only bill for the delivery of placenta, repair and antepartum/postpartum visits.
