Hi All,
Can someone tell me if I can charge extra for NST read during the patients labor at the hospital. This is the note: The patient was admitted. Cervical exam 60% effacement, 4 cm dilatation, vertex presentation, and -2 station. Beta strep cultures verified to be negative. NST was noted to be reactive. Amniotomy was performed at 0732 hrs with clear fluid noted. Pitocin induction was complete -complete at 1246 hrs and began pushing.....?
If I can would the code be 59020-26? or 59025-26
Is this included in the obcare and delivery package 59400 for vag del?
Thanks!
