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

What 59612 covers

This code represents the clinician’s delivery service when a patient with a prior cesarean gives birth vaginally, with or without episiotomy or forceps. It covers the delivery portion alone, rather than the complete obstetric package. An obstetrician or family physician commonly reports it for a hospital birth after labor following cesarean ends in vaginal delivery.

Report 59612 when the billing clinician furnishes the vaginal delivery but not the antepartum and postpartum care represented by the comprehensive maternity code. Documentation should establish the prior cesarean, vaginal delivery, and which obstetric-care components the clinician provided. Do not use it when the trial of labor ends in cesarean delivery. CMS treats this as a maternity code, so usual global surgery rules do not apply. If another procedure subject to the standard multiple-procedure rule is performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%.
