Yes. When claiming for the obstetrical delivery bonus associated with vaginal delivery and post natal care, submit an encounter record for the vaginal delivery (14104) along with a fee for service claim for the obstetrical delivery incentive bonus (14004). When claiming for the obstetrical delivery bonus associated with attendance at delivery and post natal care for an emergency c-section (14109), submit an encounter record for 14109 along with a fee for service claim for the obstetrical delivery bonus (14009). When claiming for the GP elective c-section and postpartum care (14108), submit an encounter record for 14108 along with a fee for service claim for the obstetrical delivery bonus (14008). If a fee for service claim is submitted for 14104, 14108 or 14109, it will be refused or withdrawn as this service is funded through the alternative payment arrangement.
