Hi all you OB-GYN coding mavens!
I need some info on the 59160. Why doesn't it include a dilation? Is it assumed that a dilation isn't needed during the post partum period? If a gradual dilation is needed & done, can a 57800 be billied in conjunction with the 59160? There are no NCCI edits telling me I can't bill the 2, but I'm not entirely sure that's appropriate.
