What is C-Section Delivery (full care)? Read the full explainer →

C-Section Delivery (full care)

A cesarean delivers the baby through an incision in the lower abdomen and uterus. This code bundles a practice's full course of care for the pregnancy — routine prenatal visits, the cesarean itself, and postpartum follow-up — into one global charge. The hospital's charges for the operating room and the stay are billed apart from it.
