Has anyone heard that the physician can bill the vaginal delivery with a -53 modifier and also the C-Section? If so can you tell me where to find the documentation to support this type of billing? :confused:

Thanks

Can't code for both. Code the successful procedure only which is the c-section.

There are codes for attempted vaginal resulting in CS w/ previous CS if that applies to your patient

CPT code 59618 for C-section delivery, following attempted vaginal delivery after previous C-section.

I don't have my book in front of me but isn't there a DX code to show failed vaginal delivery
