Manual Turning Of A Breech Baby Before Delivery

Maryland rates for HCPCS 59412

This procedure is performed late in pregnancy to manually turn a baby from a bottom-down (breech) position to a head-down position in preparation for vaginal delivery. A provider applies pressure to the abdomen to guide the turn, sometimes with medication given beforehand to relax the uterus. It's monitored closely with fetal heart rate tracking.
