My question is if Maternal Fetal Medicine is seeing a patient for all of her prenatal care, delivery and postpartum care, shouldn’t MFM bill out a global delivery charge if the patient meets the criteria with the amount of prenatal visits (approximately 13 rule)? Also if MFM is seeing a pregnant patient as a co-specialty to the patients general OB doctor who is seeing the patient for her prenatal, delivery and postpartum care, wouldn’t MFM bill out their visits separately since MFM isn’t taking on the patients care?

Thanks for your help. It’s greatly appreciated,
