How many obstetrical visits are required to bill globally?
In my CPT book it states: For 1-3 antepartum care visits, see appropriate E/M code(s)... Does this mean if the patient has 4 or more antepartum visits with the delivery it can be billed globally?
In this instance a patient was seen twice in the office for antepartum care, delivered by cesarean-section, & had a post partum visit.
Would CPT Code 59515 - Cesarean delivery including postpartum care be the most appropriate code to identify the services rendered? As for the anterpartum visits; would this be coded with the appropriate E/M code? Please help
Thank you so very much,
