Overview

CPT Code 59414 is used to report the delivery of the placenta following a vaginal delivery. This code is applicable when the provider performs the delivery of the placenta but does not provide antepartum or postpartum care. It is often used in split-care scenarios where one provider manages the delivery, and another handles the antepartum and/or postpartum care.

Purpose

This code ensures that providers are reimbursed for the specific service rendered, the delivery of the placenta, when they are not responsible for the full scope of maternity care. It helps prevent underbilling in split-care situations and ensures accurate reimbursement for services provided.
