For routine outpatient prenatal visits when no complications are present the use of supervision first or other pregnancy (V22.0/V22.1) are first listed.
However, if during the visit the obstetrician finds that patient has a URI and renders treatment for the URI...Will the V-code still be first-listed and the URI be secondary?
If it is first listed - I would also like to find the guideline - as I am employed with a physicians group that is coding just the opposite of this...
I believe that the V22.x code IS First listed Only.
Any help is Appreciated,
Thanks - Sherry Pennington
