Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 59050 covers

A consulting physician other than the attending physician monitors fetal heart-rate and uterine-activity tracings during labor, assesses the findings, and provides a written report. This service may be requested when the laboring patient’s tracing needs an independent clinical assessment, such as evaluation of concerning fetal heart-rate patterns. It is performed in the labor and delivery setting and is distinct from antepartum fetal testing.

Report 59050 when the consultant performs the monitoring service and documents the findings in a written report; use 59051 when the requested service is interpretation only. The record should establish the physician’s consulting role, that the patient was in labor, the tracing assessed, and the resulting interpretation or recommendations. CMS assigns work, practice-expense, and malpractice relative values to the service; the applicable fee schedule rate is displayed separately.
