Results for perinatal death were as follows: (average risk ratio (RR) 0.80, 95 % CI: 0.35 to 1.83; 4 studies, 11,183 participants). AHCCCS follows the guidelines as outlined in the Medicare Physicians Fee Schedule multiple procedure . J Ultrasound Med. 2020;55(5):575-585. They are distinct tests with a start, middle, and end. 2012;206(4):300-308. Two reviewers independently selected studies that evaluated the accuracy of ophthalmic artery Doppler to predict the development of PE and extracted data to construct 22 tables. 1999;33(2):143-151. 1988;27:187-196. Am J Obstet Gynecol. Oxford, UK: Update Software. Nicolaides KH, Bilardo CM, Soothill PW, Campbell S. Absence of end diastolic frequencies in umbilical artery: A sign of fetal hypoxia and acidosis. A total of 6/17 (35 %) of women with PAPS, 3/18 (17 %) of women with SAPS, and 2/23 (9 %) of women with SLE developed early-onset PE. Use the codes below for billing antepartum-only, postpartum-only, delivery-only or delivery and postpartum only services. Specificity has been reported to be about 75 %. The Modifier 25 is added to the E/M visit to indicate that there was a separately identifiable E/M on the same day of a procedure. Ophthalmic artery Doppler in combination with other biomarkers in the prediction of pre-eclampsia at 19-23 weeks' gestation. The baseline model included maternal BMI, MAP, and clinical diagnosis at the time of assessment. Washington, DC: ACOG; January 2000. Discordance was identified by the birth weight difference from 20 %. OL LI { Am J Obstet Gynecol. In a prospective, observational, cohort study, Gurgel and co-workers (2018) determined the performance of a multi-parametric test comprising maternal risk factors, uterine artery Doppler and ophthalmic artery Doppler in the first trimester of pregnancy for the prediction of PE. The ob-gyn checks her and sees that she's dilated 3 cm. A larger number of patients may have resulted in different accuracy rates for the combinations evaluated in this study; however, there was a steep increase in the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio in patients with PE, which was consistent with previously reported results, and these investigators expected that the main conclusions would not change with a larger study population. Home; About Us. During the first 20 minutes of monitoring, the ob-gyn uses the external transducers and detects no fetal heart rate accelerations. Studies where uterine vessels have been assessed together with fetal and umbilical vessels have been included. They stated that the findings of this review justify efforts to elucidate the effectiveness and underlying mechanism whereby 2 seemingly unrelated maternal vessels can be used for the prediction of a disease considered a "placental disorder". Next, the patients back is raised, and the provider attaches two belts to the mothers abdomen. Int J Gynaecol Obstet. Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol. Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol. A non-stress test is used to detect accelerations in the fetal heart rate over a 20-40 minute window. ACOG Practice Bulletin No. 1998;105:422-429. A review. Moreover, PIGF levels were affected by smoking, ethnicity, body weight, and maternal age. Several tests provided moderate or convincing prediction of early PE, but screening for late PE was poor. In a prospective, case-control study, Madazli et al (2008) compared macrophage activation in normal and pre-eclamptic pregnancies by determining YKL-40 concentration and chitotriosidase activity in maternal and cord serum. Obstet Gynecol. Br J Obstet Gynaecol. Routine outpatient E/M services provided within 42 days following delivery. These services are not generally reported with codes 59025 or 59020. 1994;344:1664-1668. Sterne G, Shields LE, Dubinsky TJ. Furthermore, an UpToDate review on Preeclampsia: Clinical features and diagnosis (August and Sibai, 2021) does not recommend screening of placental growth factor (PIGF) as a management tool. The quality of the included reviews was examined using the AMSTAR tool and a modified version of the QUIPS tool. Also, an UpToDate review on "Doppler ultrasound of the umbilical artery for fetal surveillance" (Maulik, 2017) states that "The principles of managing a high risk pregnancy utilizing UA Doppler velocimetry in conjunction with other fetal surveillance test findings are described below. UpToDate [online serial]. TC procedures are institutional and cannot be billed separately by the physician when the patient is: In a covered Part A stay in a skilled nursing facility . These changes became statistically significant at 12 weeks for sFlt-1, PlGF and endoglin. Waltham, MA: UpToDate; reviewed December 2019. Global maternity billing ends with release of care within 42 days after delivery. -We also don't code for a labor check when the patient goes to the hospital for observation and is then admitted for delivery.-On the other hand, you may find a way to be indirectly reimbursed for the labor check. Helsinki, Finland: Duodecim Medical Publications Ltd.; April 3, 2000. 2002;101(1):26-30. You should add modifier 26 to 59025 because the hospital owns the equipment and will report for that portion of the service. 1992;340:936-940. Gybel-Brask D, Hogdall E, Johansen J, et al. Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand. Postpartum care after vaginal or cesarean section delivery (CPT code 59430). When billing for the global obstetrical package code, all services must be provided by one obstetrician, one midwife, or the same physician group practice provides all of the patient's routine obstetric care, which includes the antepartum care, delivery, and postpartum care. Uni-variable and multi-variable logistic regression analyses were performed to determine which biophysical factors, and which of the factors among the maternal characteristics and medical and obstetric history, had a significant contribution to the prediction of PE in a multi-parametric model. Many textbooks and guidelines recommend serial amniocentesis to monitor these pregnancies. 207. Predictive accuracy of second trimester uterine artery Doppler indices for stillbirth: A systematic review and meta-analysis. The appropriate diagnosis showing multiple gestation should also be used. Johnson TR, Paine LL, Strobino DM, et al. These researchers carried out a retrospective study including 161 patients during the 1st trimester screening between 11+0 and 13+6 weeks of gestation. Sound can also be used to induce acceleration of the heart rate of the fetus. Prediction of pre-eclampsia, low birthweight for gestation and prematurity by uterine artery blood flow velocity waveform analysis in low risk nulliparous women. Question: What do fetal non-stress tests (NSTs) entail? Almstrom H, Axelsson O, Cnattingius S, et al. Guide to clinical preventive services. UTI, Asthma) during antepartum, Additional E/M visits for complications or high risk monitoring resulting in greater than, However these E/M services should not be reported until after the patient, to identify these visits as separately identifiable from, Inpatient E/M services provided more than 24 hrs before delivery. If there are no accelerations after 20 minutes, the ob-gyn may attempt to induce a fetal response with acoustic stimulation through the mother's abdomen or a vibration. 2018;45(10):1477-1490. Ultrasound was used to assess uterine artery Doppler. J Postgrad Med. Park et al (2014) attempted to establish a cut-off value for the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio measured using the Elecsys assay to predict late-onset PE in low-risk pregnancies. Global OB Care Coding and Billing Guidelines, By: Sheila Haynes Coding and Compliance Manager. Maternal arteriography was performed and serum was taken for the measurement of AFP, beta-hCG, PlGF, and PAPP-A levels. Are reading NSTs for pregnant mothers who are inpatients a separately billable service?

Routine prenatal visits until delivery, after the first three antepartum visits. Per the ACOG Coding Committee, the following is a brief description of CPT code 59025 (Fetal NST): Clinical Policy Bulletins are developed by Aetna to assist in administering plan benefits and constitute neither offers of coverage nor medical advice. Karsdorp VH, van Vugt JM, van Geijn HP, et al. 2016;128(6):e241-e256. var ffid = 2; 1993;100:130-133. The predictors with the best test performance were BMI greater than 35 kg/m2 , with a specificity of 92 % (95 % CI: 89 to 95 %) and a sensitivity of 21 % (95 % CI: 12 to 31 %); BMI greater than 25 kg/m2 , with a specificity of 73 % (95 % CI: 64 to 83 %) and a sensitivity of 47 % (95 % CI: 33 to 61 %); 1st-trimester UtA pulsatility index or resistance index of greater than 90th centile (specificity 93 % (95 % CI: 90 to 96 %) and sensitivity 26 % (95 % CI: 23 to 31 %)); PIGF (specificity 89 % (95 % CI: 89 to 89 %) and sensitivity 65 % (95 % CI: 63 to 67 %)); and placental protein 13 (specificity 88 % (95 % CI: 87 to 89 %) and sensitivity 37 % (95 % CI: 33 to 41 %)). The CST measures the response of the fetal heart rate to uterine contractions. It may also include the skull, neck and tailbone. Treating providers are solely responsible for medical advice and treatment of members. Sarno M, Wright A, Vieira N, et al. Following an abnormal versus normal UAD assessment, the posterior risks for composite adverse perinatal outcome, admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (ICU), Cesarean section for intrapartum fetal compromise, 5-min Apgar score of less than 7, neonatal acidosis and perinatal death were: 52.3 % versus 20.2 %, 48.6 % versus 18.7 %, 23.1 % versus 15.2 %, 3.59 % versus 1.32 %, 9.15 % versus 5.12 % and 31.4 % versus 1.64 %, respectively. Second, these investigators only had a small number of pregnancies complicated by chronic hypertension in the study cohort; thus, they could not derive strong conclusions in this subgroup. The QRGs include targeted claims and authorization instructions per provider type.

Stamford, CT: Appleton & Lange; 1999:201-227. The competing risks model was used to estimate the individual patient-specific risks of delivery with PE at any time and at less than 3 weeks from assessment by a combination of maternal demographic characteristics and medical history with biomarkers. Some providers give the female patient a buzzer and ask her to push it whenever she feels the fetus move. See alsoCPB 0106 - Fetal Echocardiography and Magnetocardiography and CPB 0127 - Home Uterine Activity Monitoring. Ischemia-modified albumin in preterm infants born to mothers with pre-eclampsia. The ob-gyn may perform the labor check, but as long as the patient does not deliver within 24 hours of admittance, you can include the reimbursement for the labor check in your codes for initial hospital care (99221-99223, Initial hospital care, per day, for the evaluation and management of a patient ).

The use of sFlt-1/PIGF ratio combined with the baseline model significantly improved the area under the curve values for predicting delivery within a week (0.83 versus 0.88; p = 0.025) or in 2 weeks (0.86 versus 0.93; p = 0.001) due to PE-related events in gestational ages of less than 35 weeks. Non-invasive 20-40 minutes to perform, fetus can be Obstet Gynecol Surv. Goffinet et al (1997) reviewed RCTs of umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry in average-risk pregnancies, and concluded that there is inadequate evidence to support its use in that clinical context: "There is no evidence that routine umbilical Doppler in a general or low-risk population leads to any improvement in the health of women or their infants. Sapantzoglou I, Wright A, Arozena MG, et al. The NST is based on the premise that the heart rate of a fetus that is not acidotic or neurologically depressed will temporarily accelerate with fetal movement. "Extensive research on Doppler analysis of uterine, umbilical, and various intrafetal vessels confirms a strong correlation between high resistance arterial wave form patterns (e.g., low, absent, or reversed diastolic flow in the umbilical artery) and subsequent IUGR, hypoxemic fetal morbidity, and mortality. Notice how this procedure takes longer than a labor check and requires repeated stimulations to assess the specific fetal reaction or lack thereof.Heads up: If the ob-gyn performs this test in the hospital setting, you should add modifier 26 (Professional component) to 59025. Prediction of preeclampsia with maternal mid-trimester placental growth factor, activin A, fibronectin and uterine artery Doppler velocimetry. ins.style.display = 'block'; The results of this procedure are written in a report and interpreted by the provider. 1999;48(4):237-240.

Mean maternal serum YKL-40 levels were lower in women who subsequently developed early (87.453.07 versus 103.404.29) or late (96.434.06 versus 99.873.63) pre-eclampsia than those who remained normotensive. ins.style.width = '100%'; Coding example: 99214, 25. Doppler ultrasonography has not been shown to be of value as a screening test for detecting fetal compromise in the general obstetric population, and its use for this purpose cannot be recommended.". When the quality of the evidence for the main comparison of "All Doppler versus no Doppler" was assessed with GRADE software, the outcomes of perinatal death and serious neonatal morbidity data were graded as of low quality. Doppler investigation identifies the fetal cardiovascular response to progressive hypoxia and acidosis and assists in discriminating small, but constitutionally normal, fetuses from those compromised by placental insufficiency". 1997;104(4):425-430. Ultrasound in the diagnosis of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome--a preliminary report. Endometrial thickness, pulsatility and resistance indices (PI and RI) of the uterine, myometrial and endometrial vasculature, endometrial histopathology were measured by trans-vaginal Doppler sonography. Hemoglobinopathies (hemoglobin SS, SC, or S-thalassemia), Multiple gestation (with significant growth discrepancy), Post-term pregnancy (greater than 41 weeks gestation), Previous fetal demise (unexplained or recurrent risk), Amniotic fluid index (determination of the amniotic fluid volume), chitotriosidase activity in both maternal and cord serum and. Umbilical artery Doppler assessment is most useful in pregnancies complicated by fetal growth restriction and/or preeclampsia. Therefore, you can report the initial care separately from the global ob period. Alternatively, acoustic stimulation is applied to the maternal abdomen for 1 to 2 seconds and the fetal heart rate is recorded. Discordant fetal growth is common in multiple gestation and usually is defined by a 15 to 25 % reduction in the estimated fetal weight of the smaller fetus when compared with the largest. Obstet Gynecol. Physicians shall report the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System/Current Procedural Terminology (HCPCS/CPT) code that describes the procedure performed to the greatest specificity 99203 Medicare and e codes. 25. The ob-gyn did not use the external transducer to examine the fetus- condition but to monitor the patient's contractions. MedConverge Home Maternal - Fetal Medicine Billing and CPT Codes Tremendous advances have been made in healthcare during pregnancy and child birth. A controlled trial of self-nonstress test versus assisted nonstress test in the evaluation of fetal well being. Thus, Doppler studies of vessels other than the umbilical artery, as part of assessment of fetal well-being in pregnancies complicated by IUGR, should be reserved for research protocols. Aetna considers Preeclampsia Screen|T1 experimental and investigational for prediction of risk for early onset preeclampsia becauseits effectiveness has not been established. Myers ER, Blumrick R, Christian AL, et al. Guidelines from the ACOG have concluded that uterine artery Doppler is not an effective method for identifying women at risk for eclampsia. 2019;32(13):2173-2181. Ciobanu A, Wright A, Syngelaki A, et al. Fetal heart rate patterns: Monitoring, interpretation, and management. background: #5e9732; Performance of screening was consistently lower in populations with risk factors for PE in the maternal history. The best cut-off for predicting PE was a PMDV of greater than22.11cm/s, with sensitivity of 70 %, specificity of 75 %, positive likelihood ratio of 2.8, negative likelihood ratio of 0.4, positive predictive value (PPV) of 28 % and negative predictive value (NPV) of 95 %. Procedure. Cochrane DatabaseSyst Rev. Ultrasound scanning during pregnancy. 1994;101:114-120. The authors concluded that serum YKL-40 was not associated with pre-eclampsia. 2013;121(5):1122-1133. The authors concluded that endoglin, sFlt-1 and PlGF are potential early screening parameters for the development of PE in pregnant women with autoimmune diseases like APS and SLE.

It does not mention "multiple pregnancies" as an indication for UA Doppler velocimetry. Role of Kleihauer test in Rhesus negative pregnancy. Normal Doppler studies could potentially lead to a reduction in such testing and interventions. The results of 1 RCT showed significantly lower rates of obstetric interventions in patients assigned to Doppler, such as antepartum admission and labor induction.
