Question

Jamie came in for her six-week postpartum visit. What Category II code would be used to report this service?

Answer 1

The category II code to be used to report a six-week postpartum care visit is CPT II code 0503F. A single Category II code can be reported each visit occurs and these services can be reported at the time of delivery, or release from care at the end of the six-week postpartum period. Other category codes can also be used in conjunction with maternity codes to further specify the condition of the patient or if any complication occurring within the six-week postpartum period.
