Hi Laureen. Quick question. I came across a hospital claim where a patient is being discharged from a normal delivery. What I would like to poke your brain on is, is it correct to use 650 with 99238? There were no complications. For some reason it does not look accurate but I don't understand if you could please help!???! Thanks in advance.

This was covered in the September 2013 Q&A Webinar. With 650, you need to code also V27.0, Outcome of delivery, single liveborn. Only the admitting physician may use 99238. More information is available on this and other webinar topics by joining the replay club. Replay club members receive access to the transcript, answer sheets, and video clips of the webinar and previous webinars as well.
