 Addition of NEW CPT codes to the service file to code for progesterone supplementation for preterm birth prevention (PTB) in women with specific pregnancy conditions.  Update on the 439 E-Report/Update on the Prenatal Log reporting  Update on MCH Core Assurance Coordination

DPH recognizes the current ACOG recommendations regarding progesterone and preterm birth prevention and strongly recommends the use of progesterone as listed in the ACOG Committee Opinion Number 130. ACOG Recommendations:  A woman with a singleton gestation and a prior spontaneous preterm singleton birth should be offered progesterone supplementation starting at weeks of gestation, regardless of transvaginal ultrasound cervical length.  Vaginal progesterone is recommended as a management option to reduce the risk of preterm birth in asymptomatic women with a singleton gestation without a prior preterm birth with an incidentally identified very short cervical length less than or equal to 20 mm before or after 24 weeks of gestation.  Progesterone treatment does not reduce the incidence of preterm birth in women with twin or triplet gestations and therefore is not recommended as an interventions to prevent preterm birth in women with multiple gestations.
