Marie is 18 weeks pregnant and is seen today by Dr. Smith, her attending OB, because of a rash on her left arm and right thigh. It is determined that the rash is an allergic reaction to a new detergent that she is using. How should this visit be billed?


Because this care is not part of normal antepartum care, this service should be reported by using a code from the "Evaluation and Management" section. The visit is not considered part of normal antepartum care, so it would not be part of the global service charge.
