Hi everyone!
I've read up on splitting the global codes 59425 4 or more, 59426 7 or more, followed by just delivery code, but I guess I need help. Quite often our practice will have a pt tansfer her ob care to us at 23, or 25 weeks. I understand at the end it will be 59426, +del code, BUT For her initial visit to us, can't we bill an new pt E/M (99204) for this visit to establish care? But what to use for dx code? Can anyone give me an answer on this, My ACOG resource isn't helping! GRATEFUL THANKS!
