I need help as this is new to me. We had a patient with found fetal demise between 16 - 18 wks. She was brought into delivery room and given Cytotec to induce labor. She delivered fetus vaginally. What can be charged for this physician? I don't know the rules of this type of situation so any help would be great.
 
For a fetal demise prior to 20 weeks, use CPT code 59855 for induced abortion with vaginal suppositories or 59856 if the doctor also did a D&C and/or evacuation.
