What 59622 covers

This code represents postpartum-only obstetric management after a patient with a prior cesarean attempts labor for vaginal birth but ultimately has a cesarean delivery. It is for situations in which the reporting clinician provides postpartum care, rather than the antepartum and delivery services included in a complete maternity package. Obstetricians and other clinicians furnishing postpartum obstetric care may provide these services through hospital-linked follow-up or outpatient visits.

Select the code when the record supports a prior cesarean, an attempted vaginal birth, a cesarean delivery, and postpartum care furnished by the billing clinician. Documentation should identify the delivery circumstances and describe the postpartum management provided. As a maternity code, it is not governed by the usual global surgery rules. When the standard multiple-procedure reduction applies to procedures performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%.
