CPT Code 59510: Routine Obstetric Care Including Antepartum Care, Cesarean delivery, and Postpartum Care

The 59510 CPT code represents routine obstetric care, including antepartum care, cesarean delivery, and postpartum care. It is a global maternity code used when the same provider or practice delivers all phases of care, from prenatal visits through cesarean section delivery and postpartum follow-up. This code simplifies medical billing and promotes accurate reimbursement for the complete maternity service package.

CPT code 59510 refers to comprehensive obstetric care for pregnancies ending in cesarean delivery, covering prenatal care, surgical delivery services, and postpartum period follow-up. CPT code 58611, on the other hand, is used to report ligation or transection of fallopian tubes performed during the cesarean or vaginal delivery for sterilization. Both codes may be billed together when sterilization occurs during cesarean surgery, as the tubal ligation is considered an additional procedure.

The correct CPT code for cesarean delivery only is 59514. This code applies when the provider performs just the surgical delivery without antepartum or postpartum care. If delivery and postpartum care are provided but not antepartum visits, the appropriate code would be 59515.
