Good Morning,
I'm not that familiar with OB visit billing and could use some help. Patient is seen for initial OB visit at 8 wks, is scheduled to come back in 2 wks for an ultrasound. No complications, normal pregnancy. Same physician will take care of prenatal, delivery and postpartum care.
How is the initial visit coded? My thought is 59400
How is the second visit for just the US coded? My thought is 76801
If the second visit included a regular prenatal visit along with the ultrasound, how is that coded?
Thank you in advance for all advice,
Laura
