Cesarean Delivery After A Failed Vaginal Birth Attempt

Washington rates for HCPCS 59620

A cesarean delivery performed after labor was attempted with the goal of a vaginal birth following a prior cesarean, but the attempt did not succeed and delivery by cesarean became necessary. This covers the delivery itself, separate from the pregnancy care leading up to it or the care given afterward. It reflects the additional monitoring and decision-making involved in attempting a vaginal birth before moving to a cesarean.
