Hello -
Patient presents in office 4 days after delivery with complaints of edema in UE and LE. Delivery was complicated by placenta acreeta. Physician notes there was "massive intraoperative volume load for resucitation." During pregnancy patient had history of gestational DM, hypothyroidism.
I think that this is a complication and therefore outside the Global. I thought that the Global OB package was for normal pregnancy/normal delivery - but I am new to OB and second-guessing myself.
So would these complications to the pregnancy in this scenario fall within the Global Package or would it be a separate E/M visit?
Thank you!
