Can any postpartum care be billed in addition to the global? 

What about postpartum care past six weeks? 

And does CPT code 59430 get used for every postpartum visit...or only once?


This mini-course from Billing for Midwives explains the pathways available for billing postpartum care, and then provides walkthroughs of real-world examples. Available exclusively through Billing for Midwives All Access.
