re: NEED PLACE OF SERVICE
The C/S global includes admit & discharge under "normal" course of care. And C/S should warrant POS 21 (inpatient), as the patient will typically be in the hospital for more than 23 hours.

Thank you very much

The place of service codes are listed in the front of the CPT® book.
I agree with the previous commenter that the admission is not separately reportable. Look at the editorial comments in the CPT® book at the start of the maternity section to see what services are included in the maternity package.
