Wiki Medicaid OB billing

[karey]

When using a Delivery ONLY code do you code the f/u inpatient visit after delivery separate for Medicaid???

Pt delivers on 4/12/13 and is discharged on 4/13/13. Since i have to bill everything separate for Medicaid should'nt I code the discharge separately?

Yes, bill for the discharge. When I am billing to Medicaid for a delivery only, I also bill any subsequent visits separately including the discharge.
