We are looking for advice on how to diagnose newborn weight checks in the clinic when the patient has weight loss after birth but the reason is not known. The following is the response from the provider when queried – "Baby was breastfeeding and lost over 10% of birth weight after birth. It is often assumed that it is a feeding/calorie issue, but cannot be confirmed until calories are increased and weight gain results. Patient continues to require follow up exams and weight checks."
We believe these should be problem visits and not Health Maintenance visits but are having issues with the diagnosis. Patient did not have a low birth weight so P07.10 would not be accurate. It is not confirmed at this time that it is a feeding/calorie issue so P92._ would not work.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
