Question on OB patient post-op visits. How many visits do you give to an OB patient after they have had the baby? There is no global days on deliveries. My ACOG book states that the normal is 1 free visit for a vaginal delivery and 2 free visits for a cesarean section. We have adopted a policy where I work that everyone gets two visits no matter what. But the problem I have been running into is the doctors are bringing the cesarean patients back in more than the free two visit limit to check their incision. I have one doctor that is giving me trouble about our internal policy. I would just like to find out what other places are doing. I've always thought a cesarean should have a global peroid, but it doesn't.
