Wiki Foley balloon

[TanBro]

Can someone tell me if my doctor uses a Foley Balloon during a vaginal delivery due to prolong labor or inadequate contractions, can we charge for that or is it part of the global delivery?

I have only ever seen these placed for inductions.. depending on payer, they can be billed if not done on the same day as delivery. So I would say if it's placed after labor has started, then probably not.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it!! I'm still new at this and new situations come about daily as I'm sure you know lol.
