Question:Any possible chance of having a webinar on OBGYN and GYN?

Especially on GYN surgeries and when surgeries cannot be billed together?

Answer

Jo-Anne Sheehan, CPC, CPC-I, CPPM, COC

CCO Sr. Instructor / Coach

GYN Surgeries and Billing

Question:The patient receives total OB care from partners in the same practice. Dr. A follows the patient through the antepartum care and Dr. B performs the delivery. Would you bill the delivery under the provider that provided the antepartum care and not under the provider that performed the delivery? Or bill under the provider who performed the delivery? (both physicians are partners in the same practice)
