I'm newer to the OB field and my doctor did several procedures. Please help and tell me how you would code?
procedure is lft oophorectomy via laparotomy/ repair of 6 x 3 ventral hernia superior to the umbilicus and also a repair of 4 cm umbilical hernia/ and adominoplasty. Dx is left dermmoid cyst, ventral hernia and Pannus.
Same doctor another pt and procedure: (at 16 weeks)
Dr. did a misoprostol induction for vaginal delivery, no D & C and baby was fetal demise at 16 weeks. Done at hospital and the insurance is Medicaid. Not sure if can code 59855 and the delivery charge?
Thank you so much,
