1. If a patient has twin pregnancy of 10 weeks and comes for an OB ultrasound complete, we will code 76801 followed by 76802 CPT® codes. 2. If a patient has twin pregnancy of 20 weeks and comes for OB ultrasound complete, we will code 76805 followed by 76810 CPT® codes.
Commonly reported CPT codes for miscarriages include: 59812, treatment of incomplete abortion, any trimester. 59820, treatment of missed abortion, completed surgically; first trimester. 59821, treatment of missed abortion, completed surgically; second trimester.
When an induced abortion is performed by dilating the cervix and performing sharp and/or suction curettage, use CPT code 59840 for reported such procedures. If the cervix is dilated and the uterus mechanically evacuated, code 59841 is reported.
Intrauterine fetal demise is the clinical term for stillbirth used to describe the death of a baby in the uterus. The term is usually applied to losses at or after the 20th week of gestation.
From a clinical perspective, a viable pregnancy is one in which the baby can be born and have a reasonable chance of survival. By contrast, a nonviable pregnancy is one in which the fetus or baby has no chance of being born alive.
It means that we are able to see a pregnancy sac in the womb but the sac is either too small to expect to see an embryo (the early baby) or the embryo can be seen but is too small for us to expect to see a heartbeat yet.
Recently, Horizon Blue Cross and Blue Shield has denied payment for the ultrasound done on the second sac stating denial is based on “payment methodology and guidelines” and that 76817 can only be billed once per encounter. The CPT book neither states that the code can or can't be billed twice per exam.
This means they can appear nearly identical or completely different. They can be different sexes with different hair and eye colors or the same sex and look very similar. Fraternal twins are also called dizygotic twins, because they come from two different eggs.
