My first OB/GYN coding job (first coding job ever, actually) hope this isnt a stupid question..
I was explained to and had the full understanding that for Medicaid patients that are HIGH risk you use the H codes. initial and 1st trimester are H1001 and after 1st trimester it's
H1000....
BUT then I learned for ALL Medicaid pts (not just high risk) the Healthy Start Prenatal Risk Screening form you attach the TG modifer to the H1001. I thought the H1001 was the inital for high risk patients only???
Where am I going wrong here??
