Do you know whether you should include or exclude a visit from the global ob package (59400-59622)? The patient presents for her annual exam. The ob-gyn orders a pregnancy test because he suspects pregnancy. You should count this visit as outside the global ob package. The ob-gyn is not monitoring the pregnancy during the visit. Your claim should look like this: 1. The annual exam (99384-99386 for new patients, or 99394-99396 for established patients) linked to either Z01.411 (Encounter for gynecological examination [general] [routine] with abnormal findings) or Z01.419 (Encounter for gynecological examination [general] [routine] without abnormal findings). 2. The diagnostic test (for instance, 81025, Urine pregnancy test, by visual color comparison methods) linked to Z32.01 (Encounter for pregnancy test, result positive).
