272.493 Obstetrical Care Without Delivery

Certified nurse-midwives must use procedure code 59425 with modifier UA to bill for one to three visits for antepartum care without delivery.

Procedure code 59425 with no modifier must be used by providers to bill for four to six visits for antepartum care without delivery.

Use procedure code 59426 for seven or more visits for antepartum care without delivery.

This procedure code enables certified nurse-midwives rendering care to the patient during the pregnancy, but not delivering the baby, to receive reimbursement for their services provided. Coverage for this service will include routine sugar and protein analysis. One unit equals one visit. Units of service billed with this procedure code will not be counted against the patient's office visit benefit limit.

Providers must enter the "from" and "through" dates of service on the CMS-1500 claim form and the number of units being billed. One visit equals one unit of service. Providers must submit the claim within 12 months of the first date of service.

For example: An OB patient is seen by the certified nurse-midwife on 1-10-05, 2-10-05, 3-10-05, 4-10-05, 5-10-05 and 6-10-05. The patient then moves and begins seeing another provider prior to the delivery. The certified nurse-midwife may submit a claim with dates of service shown as 1-10-05 through 6-10-05 and 6 units of service entered in the appropriate field. This claim must be received by EDS prior to 12 months from 1-10-05 to fall within the 12-month filing deadline.
