    I think she's thinking of 52 on the iud insertion attempt because for instance the Bayer company/brand IUD guide says to use 52 specifically for that reason I have a picture of it but it says the image is to large to attach in this thread, but if you wanted to look at it I could email it to you

    I'm aware it's an add on code and it would need to be added on to another code. And it'll mostly be used for our annuals and problem visits but was just seeing if you could add it on to a 1st ob code if a chaperone is present because we do pelvic exams at time as well
