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%.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

59622 billing questions

When should this code be chosen instead of 59620?

Use 59622 for postpartum care only after an attempted VBAC ends in cesarean delivery. Code 59620 represents the cesarean delivery service only.

How does this differ from 59618?

Code 59618 represents the broader maternity-care package for an attempted VBAC resulting in cesarean delivery. Code 59622 is for postpartum care alone.

Can this code be used after a successful VBAC?

No. For postpartum-only care after vaginal delivery following a prior cesarean, compare 59614.

What should the documentation establish?

Document the prior cesarean, attempted labor for vaginal birth, cesarean delivery, and the postpartum services furnished by the reporting clinician.

How are same-session procedures paid?

Under the standard multiple-procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures performed in the same session are paid at 50%.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
