My first prenatal visit was billed as “absence of menstruation” instead of “prenatal visit”, therefore my insurance is not covering it (insurance only covers prenatal visits). Is this normal? Did the doctor make a mistake with coding?

Yea. They only coded mine as a preg confirmation appointment and they said OB appointments start after that.

Just call the office and ask. They can likely answer quickly.

Normally the first visit isn’t covered under most insurance policies- after the confirmation of pregnancy is when your prenatal care starts and you get one long bill at the end

It is - and no other way to phrase it- super stupid. My doctors office explained it to me when I left after my first appointment. Also if you switch OBs in the middle of your pregnancy you likely start all over again - very very stupid

Were they able to confirm a positive blood test at the visit?

Anyone know who might be looking for a network coordinator?
