Our patient deivered the baby in the hospital bed with the aid of a nurse who did not call the doctor in time. The doctor was in his office and arrived two minutes later. He performed a laceration repair. This patient has Illinois Medicaid. Prenatal visits are paid separately. The policy is to bill delivery only as a separate charge. Can I not bill for the delivery? What can I bill for? If you do not think I should bill for delivery, do you think I can at least bill for admission? This is a bummer of a situation because the bulk of our pay comes from the delivery.
Let me know what you think,
