NYS UHC Community Plan OBGYN required codes

Are you an OBGYN that practices in NYS and accepts UHC Community Plan? Then this blog post is for you.

As per UHC Community Health Plan announcement the claims need to be submitted with the additional codes:

0500F – Initial prenatal visit
0502F – Subsequent prenatal visit
0503F – Postpartum visit 

These codes are not reimbursed separately and are only used for HEDIS reporting.

Please do not forget to bill the proper OBGYN codes (global, etc) in order to get reimbursement.
