Wiki External cephalic version

[Yvonnebet]

Hi all,

Is a fetal non-stress test (59025) billed with external cephalic version
(59412). We need to do the fetal non-stress to monitor the baby. I am wondering what others do.

Thanks.

According to ACOG's Coding Manual, 59025 is excluded from 59412 and can be reported/billed separately. This manual is well worth the money! You can get it from ACOG.
