Attempted Vaginal Birth After Cesarean, Complete Care

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 59618

This service covers complete pregnancy care - prenatal visits, management of labor, and after-delivery care - for a patient who attempts a vaginal delivery after having had a previous cesarean section but ultimately needs a cesarean delivery this time. It bundles the full course of pregnancy-related care into one service rather than covering each visit separately. This differs from care for a patient who successfully delivers vaginally after a prior cesarean.
