I have done limited OB billing and could really use help with this one. What would you code for the following?
Day 1: Patient went into spontaneous labor with vaginal delivery (my doctor did all prenatal care and will do postpartum). The patient retained the placenta, and my doctor did a manual extraction. She then "managed her postpartum hemorrhage". Another doctor did the D&C. Total time with patient 6 hours.
Day 2: 3 hours face to face with patient dealing with her hypotension and tachycardia.
Day 3: 1 hour on discharge
I am thinking...
59400 for OB package
would you add a -22 for extended care, an E/M for the postpartum hemorrhage, or is it global?
Day 2 99232, 99356x1, 99357x4
Day 3 99239
Thank you for your help!
