Is a new patient visit billable for a patient who transfers into care late into her already established pregnancy? For example, if a patient moves and has to establish care with an entirely new practice and she is already 20 weeks along in the pregnancy. This is not a confirmation of pregnancy as it already established, so would you bill the appropriate E/M NP code (99202-99205) with a routine prenatal visit code of Z34.02/Z34.82, Z3A.20? Or would this np establishing visit just be counted in with her antenatal visits?
